County Executive Calvin Ball and Girl Scouts of Central Maryland reach a preliminary agreement to save Camp Ilchester!

Last week, Liz joined the County Executive, Delegate Courtney Watson, and members of the Girl Scouts of Central Maryland's (GSCM) Board of Directors at a press conference announcing that the GSCM has signed a Letter of Intent to sell the Camp Ilchester property to the County. The County Executive has included $6M of County funding to buy the property in the most recent capital budget that's currently in front of the County Council.

Since the GSCM announced their plans to sell the land last year, preserving Camp Ilchester has been a priority for Liz,. We're happy and relieved to hear that the GSCM and the County Executive were able to come to a preliminary agreement. Liz will definitely be voting in support of using County funds to preserve this land!
