County, city put differences aside to solve library debate

The Frederick city and county governments have ended a long-running dispute over the location of a new library on the city’s west side, with the county essentially conceding to the wishes of the city. Frederick County Executive Jessica Fitzwater and Frederick Mayor Michael O’Connor held a joint news conference this week and signed an agreement to build the new library at Hillcrest Park, at McCain Drive and Butterfly Lane in the Hillcrest neighborhood.
