Governor O’Malley announced yesterday the Board of Public Works (BPW) approval of the acquisition of a 41-acre parcel in Youghiogheny Scenic and Wild River Corridor in Garrett County. This property will provide a connecting point between the Youghiogheny Scenic and Wild River Corridor and the State-owned property of Deep Creek Lake at the dam.
The shortage of access points along the river corridor presents challenges for public entry and recreation, complicates important maintenance tasks, and impedes progress of rescue teams and emergency vehicles.
The sale is made possible through a negotiated discount between the owners and the state. Funds in the amount of $609,000 were approved by the BPW and are provided through Program Open Space.
