Hello all,
Bad news. The only funding for new public water access funding in the FY22 Anne Arundel County budget is $75,000 for a feasibility study of Valentine Creek on the Severn. In 2020 The county gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to water-privileged communities to fix their private community beaches and then effectively defunded new public water access in the FY22 budget, which began July 1 2021.

I disagree with County Executive Steuart Pittman's priorities.
