• Hagerstown Regional Airport: A terminal rehabilitation and expansion project will begin this fall that will add an approximate 3,500 square feet of passenger hold room to the secured area. It will also include updating aged equipment and aesthetics. Construction for Runway 9/27 rehabilitation design project is set to begin either Fall 2018 or Spring 2019. This is an estimated $5 million project that will include mill and overlay of a 7,000’ x 150’ main aircraft runway. It will also include new LED lighting technology, asphalt grooving and painting. Two other notable projects include a $390,000 archeological recordation project and a $300,000 environmental assessment.

• Professional Boulevard: Upon completion, the Professional Boulevard project will provide a four lane road to connect Eastern Boulevard to Yale Drive. The new portion of Professional Boulevard will include a landscaped median, while the existing Professional Court and the bridge will be an undivided highway. The project will include the construction of a new 305 foot three span bridge over the Antietam Creek with modern finishes, lighting, pedestrian walkways and viewing areas. A 10 foot wide shared path for pedestrians and bicyclists will run from the bridge and connect to the existing facilities along Yale Drive. Phase 1 Construction will begin Spring/Summer 2018 with Phase 2 Construction continuing through Summer 2021.

• Roads: Pavement Maintenance Program – at the current budget, this program preserves and repairs approximately 50 miles per year, with majority of this mileage completed as chip seal work. This process helps to seal the surface of a road and prevent further damage from moisture passing through cracks in the pavement.

• Hancock Veterans Memorial Branch Library: This is a new 8,000 square feet public library. The County has also constructed libraries in Smithsburg, Boonsboro, Clear Spring, and Hagerstown Central Library. This project is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2018. 

• Conococheague Wastewater Treatment Plant: Located in Williamsport, this is the County’s largest wastewater treatment facility that is designed to accommodate 4.1 million gallons of waste water per day. Based on requirements of the Environmental and Natural Resources Strategy, the Plant was required to update its treatment process to ENR technology. Upon completion of this $33 million project that is scheduled to be finished in July 2018, this facility will employ state-of-the-art technology, including the county’s third plant utilizing Bio Mag Technology. This technology is proven to reduce biological treatment reactor volume requirements and dramatically decrease the footprint needed to meet stricter ENR limits. Maryland Department of the Environment is providing approximately $22 million in funding, leaving the remaining amount to be funded by the County.
