Harford seeks special tax zones for base realignment growth

Harford wants to become Maryland?s first county to levy new taxes on BRAC-related development to pay for additional schools, roads, water and sewer to accommodate the population boom.

Under legislation proposed by County Executive David Craig, special tax districts would be set up for areas most affected by the Base Realignment and Closure process, expected to bring 19,000 new jobs and 7,000 new households to Harford.
