Bonjour! Local Quasi-Governmental Entity To Combat Climate

What’s happening? Maryland Counties are looking to creating a resilience authority. Resilience authorities are unique to Maryland,. They can seek grants, issue bonds and even levy fees to carry out projects that would otherwise compete with schools or health or safety for public funds.

Why is this important? An authority created by Anne Arundel County and the city of Annapolis is “tackling a $56 million problem, the redevelopment of the capital’s often-flooded City Dock.”

How will this be important? Know any Red states with Blue Counties?
