County Council, aldermen discuss affordable housing ideas

Frederick County and the city of Frederick should look at how to make existing homes cheaper to buy, to help ease the problem of affordable housing in the county, a city alderwoman said Wednesday. Alderwoman Donna Kuzemchak said during a meeting between the aldermen and the Frederick County Council that making it easier for people to buy current houses would help more than for the county or municipalities to waive fees on new construction.
