FROSTBURG - When Frostburg city officials were approached by a local business about selling the old ambulance building on Water Street, they were enthusiastic from the start at the prospect of transferring a little-used piece of public property off the city books.
In addition to relieving city government the burden of maintaining the brick structure at 22 South Water, sale to a private entity would put the property back on the tax rolls, boosting revenue.
Frostburg businesswoman Barb Armstrong, though, had misgivings about the proposal. Located across the street at the old bus terminal she converted for use of her insurance business, she felt the ambulance building ... |

On Oct. 22, the Frostburg Business and Professional Association (FBPA) made a contribution to the Protective Clothing Fund Drive for the Frostburg Area Ambulance Service.
FBPA donated $1,862 -- the amount necessary to purchase two of the protective suits. The funds were raised from FBPA's annual Labor Day Crab Feast.
Seen in the picture is FBPA President, Arthur Bond and other members presenting a check to Ambulance Service President, Wayne Lewis.
The fund drive for the Frostburg Area Ambulance Service will continue until the end of the year. Anyone wishing to donate may contact City Hall at 301-689-6000. |

FROSTBURG - The Frostburg Mayor and City Council voted unanimously Thursday night to refinance debt from the Piney Dam reconstruction, securing long-term savings of nearly $400,000 even as the nation grapples with economic upheaval of historic proportions.
The City Council also approved the sale of the old ambulance building on Water Street to a Frostburg businesswoman, recognized the developer of the Lyric Building on Main Street, and established a date and time for trick-or-treating.
Although only three financial institutions submitted bids for the Piney Dam refinancing - about one-third of the normal participation rate -- the city was able to lock in an interest rate ... |

FROSTBURG -- The Ormand Street sewer separation project is winding down, with crews applying blacktop to half of the street Thursday.
The fresh layer of asphalt caps a project that has been ongoing most of the year, with the effort focused primarily on installing new stormwater-runoff lines beneath the street.
When sewer and stormwater lines are combined, as they are in most older communities, heavy rains overwhelm sewage-intake systems, resulting in overflows of raw sewage into streams during storms. In addition to fouling local waters, the overflows contribute to pollution in the Chesapeake Bay.
