Sharpsburg zoning official outlines stream-restoration site, MDE plan update, and historic tax-credit research
Summary
Zoning Administrator Tim Lung reported on a rescheduled field visit with the County Soil Conservation District to evaluate a potential stream restoration and grant prospects, work compiling responses for a Maryland Department of the Environment-required update to the County Water & Sewerage Plan, and recommended adding Historic Tax Credit information to the town website.
Zoning Administrator Tim Lung told the council June 8 that he had responded to zoning and permitting inquiries, rescheduled a field visit with Dee Price of the County Soil Conservation District to consider a stream restoration project and possible grant funding, and continued compiling materials for the county consultant's Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE)-required update to the County Water & Sewerage Plan.
Lung also said he researched the Historic Tax Credit program's requirements and benefits and suggested the town post that guidance on its website to help property owners assess eligibility. He reported attending two planning webinars: one on heritage areas and another on micromobility.
The council did not take formal action on the stream restoration or tax-credit work at the meeting; Lung noted he was monitoring county agendas for related items and reviewing developer agreements previously obtained from the county concerning water and sewer utilities.
