Commissioners Comment, April 2010
‘This time on Commissioners’ Comment, Director of Washington County’s Permits and Inspections Department Dan DiVito talks about the Residential Stimulus program pout into place by the County Commissioners to help create jobs in a sector of the local economy hard hit by the recession. Homeowners were encouraged to build new homes, make additions, and install energy saving appliances, doors, windows, solar and wind systems, through incentives including lowered excise tax, reduced permit fees and recordation tax waivers for a three month period. The result—three times the new home starts than the same time period one year ago. All about this program in this edition of the program. Plus—a heads up to those traveling into and out of Washington County on I-81 and U.S. 340. The Maryland State Highway Administration plans to make repairs to bridges over the Potomac on both of those highways this spring and summer.
