# Salisbury City Council Legislative and Open Work Sessions 1/ 9/2026 - Part 2 of 3

Salisbury City Council legislative and open work session (metadata date: November 10, 2026) discussed a proposed substantial amendment to the FY2023 Community Development Block Grant annual action plan. Staff proposed canceling and reprogramming $19,000 from homeless-services case management and $50,000 from Ann Street Village construction rehabilitation to fund $69,000 for the purchase and installation of replacement gates and fencing at Ann Street Village. Staff said the work would not disturb soil because of the nearby brownfield site. The public comment period was open through December 2, with council action tentatively planned for December 14; no approval vote or vendor selection occurred during this discussion.

Council also discussed establishing a data-center task force, including a proposed application and reporting timeline; revising a proposed vape-shop zoning ordinance (with questions about buffer distances, exterior lighting, and a possible sunset clause); and a proposed rezoning along Fitzwater Street involving Chesapeake Shipbuilding and other properties. The vape ordinance was to return for further review, and council tabled the rezoning until the next work session after a motion and second. The meeting also began discussion of changing Maryland’s tax-differential law. No other contract awards or purchasing decisions were identified.
