Rec fee $ for Assateague water system improvements-

 

(WBOC)

 Assateague Island National Seashore is slated to begin a $2.5 million water line replacement project in October to improve water pressure and reliability.

The National Park Service says the project is funded by Assateague Island recreation fee revenue. Officials say it will reinvest visitor fees directly back into essential park infrastructure and improve the visitor experience. 

They say the existing water system was built in the '90s and does not meet visitor level demands anymore. 

They also add they do not expect any road closures while the project is completed, but campground loops will close on a rolling basis, starting in early November. Officials say the campground will remain open, but capacity will be reduced.

Eric's ID Law-

 

(Worcester County Sheriff's Office)

Sheriff Crisafulli was excited to stop by "3rd Friday" in Salisbury and show his support for Eric and Linda Carpenter-Grantham as they continue to spread awareness about Eric’s ID Law.

Named after Eric, a Maryland resident with high-functioning autism, Eric’s ID Law allows individuals with intellectual, developmental, or hidden disabilities to voluntarily add a butterfly designator to their Maryland driver’s license or state ID. The designator helps alert law enforcement and first responders that someone may have a disability that could affect communication during an interaction.

The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office is proud to help spread the word about this important initiative. If you or someone you know has a hidden disability, stop by the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office to pick up a free Hidden Disabilities Awareness envelope, which includes a butterfly button, vehicle and home window stickers, and informational materials.

To arrange a pickup, contact Executive Assistant Susan Ailstock at     sailstock@worcestermd.gov .

Thank you to the City of Salisbury, Eric, and Linda for helping spread awareness of this great initiative and for having us at 3rd Friday. We appreciate the opportunity to be part of such a great community event!
