State grant will help replace bandstand
Washington County will receive a $25,150 state grant to replace the Widmeyer Park bandstand in Hancock, according to a press release from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
The money is part of $3.6 million approved this week by the Maryland Board of Public Works under Program Open Space, which provides money for parks across the state.
Fifteen parks in seven counties received money as part of this week's appropriations.
Since its inception in 1969, Program Open Space has provided money to acquire 322,765 acres for park and recreation areas, according to the release.
