County executive lists nearly $300 million for District 3 school and park projects
Summary
County Executive Kathy Klausmeier highlighted completed and planned capital investments in District 3, including a Delaney High replacement, Pine Grove Middle renovations and multiple park and senior center projects.
Baltimore County Executive Kathy Klausmeier highlighted capital investments in District 3 during a budget town hall, telling residents the county has committed major sums to schools, parks and senior services in the district.
“We have delivered nearly 300 and million $300,000,000 for improvements for 18 schools across this district, including more than $270,000,000 for a well deserved replacement of Delaney High,” Klausmeier said. She also cited $55,000,000 for renovations at Pine Grove Middle School and listed park investments including $7,000,000 for a new Belfast Road park, more than $5,000,000 to improve Cromwell Valley Park and over $4,000,000 for enhancements at Oregon Ridge Park.
Klausmeier noted additional cultural and senior investments: $60,000 to support Camp Tutank, $25,000 for the fire museum, $17,000 for the Historical Society of Baltimore County, $20,000 for a Bach concert series and roughly $2,000,000 to expand Jacksonville Senior Center and add parking at the Cockeysville Senior Center.
The county executive framed the projects as long‑term investments in education, recreation and culture but warned that state and federal uncertainty will make balancing new initiatives with ongoing funding more difficult during the FY26 budgeting cycle. No formal decisions on these projects were taken at the town hall; the session was informational and for collecting resident priorities.
Ending: Klausmeier said the county will continue to prioritize schools, libraries and recreation in capital planning while working within affordability limits.
