This is another very important meeting. We need Carroll County and Howard County residence at this meeting. If we have a good showing on both sides of the county line regarding 32 we will magnify the level of importance to the Maryland Decision makers. The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) will conduct their Annual Tour Meeting on Thursday, October 15^th at 2:30 pm in Room 003 of the Carroll County Office Building, 225 North Center Street in Westminster. Anyone who is interested in Route 32 improvements may be interested in attending. It is important for all of our elected officials and the staff at MDOTto understand the urgency of this long overdue road improvement for our communities, both in Carroll and in Howard County.
