Aldermen’s budget priorities include sidewalks, training, records

Frederick’s aldermen want the city to allocate money in its upcoming budget to add and repair sidewalks, support programs for vocational training, and digitize city records, among other requests. Aldermen Derek Shackelford and Kelly Russell said they would like to see the city help fund apprenticeships and training in the trades to help provide job opportunities for young people who don’t plan on going to college.
