Public-private custom butcher shop planned to open in St. Mary's County this fall
Summary
A public-private partnership to open a custom butcher shop in St. Mary's County is progressing through USDA permitting and is expected to open this fall, the Tri-County Council representative said.
An unidentified Tri-County Council representative said a public-private partnership to open a custom butcher shop in St. Mary's County should open sometime this fall and is completing U.S. Department of Agriculture permitting.
The project is intended to increase local access to locally grown and locally butchered meat, the representative said. "It's a custom butcher shop in St. Mary's County," the speaker said, adding that "we do not see an issue with that" in the council's review.
The speaker characterized the planned shop as the culmination of a long-running local effort. Officials expect a ribbon-cutting when permits are complete; no exact opening date was given. The representative said the business is still undergoing the USDA permitting process, and provided no additional details on funding, ownership structure, or required local approvals.
There was no formal motion, vote, or other official action on the project during the remarks. The comments were presented as an update; staff or board members were not recorded directing formal next steps in the transcript.
Separately during the same remarks the speaker mentioned unrelated items including travel, the U.S. Flag Code and a Flag Day ceremony, and the approaching last day of the school year. Those remarks were informational and did not include policy changes or formal county actions.
