County Commissioners Meeting || 10/27/2026

The Queen Anne’s County Commissioners’ meeting on October 27, 2026, included several funding and infrastructure decisions. Commissioners approved, by a 4–1 vote, an additional 11,375 gallons per day of water and sewer allocation for a proposed 46-townhome development; the allocation was valued at $737,100 at current rates. They also approved $180,000 toward the Sudlersville Ski Club clubhouse replacement and capital improvements, part of a project estimated to cost $330,000, and approved $15,000 for Centerville’s Christmas Town USA decorations, although the town’s request was $5,000. A proposed Morganzer Drive road upgrade, estimated at $150,000, would be financed through assessments on 34 property owners—estimated at $4,412 per owner as a lump sum or $311 annually for 20 years. The hearing was held open for two weeks, with a vote expected at the next meeting; construction was projected for 2028–29. Commissioners also approved a sewer and water allocation for the development, but made no vendor or contractor selection during the meeting.

Public hearings on proposed gas-station standards, commercial impervious-surface limits, transferable development rights, and the county’s 2026 Comprehensive Water and Sewer Plan were held, with the ordinance hearings left open for further comment and no final action reported on them. Commissioners also approved a resolution providing Board of Education members with automatic 2% annual compensation increases, effective after the 2028 election. During round-table discussion, county staff described preparations for upcoming federal website accessibility requirements, including use of an accessibility-checking tool purchased through CivicPlus; no purchase amount was stated. The transcript reports no bid approvals or named construction vendors.
