EASTON, MARYLAND — Maryland's Board of Public Works on Thursday, Oct. 29, approved $40 million in state grant agreements for the new University of Maryland Shore Regional Health medical center in Easton, according to the board's after-meeting summary.
The hospital item was listed as revised and marked for discussion. The summary records the action as approved but does not describe what was said. The grants go to the University of Maryland Medical System Corporation through the Department of General Services.
The board approved two smaller Talbot County capital grants the same day. Foundation of H.O.P.E., Inc. gets $82,000 for its HOPE Center, a project the summary says includes construction of a 5,100-square-foot facility to increase capacity. Easton Day Care Center, Inc. gets $50,000 for the Critchlow Adkins Children's Center's Cordova site expansion.
The board also approved $21,087,542 in fiscal 2027 Rural Legacy grant awards statewide. That includes $1,097,926.49 for the Eastern Shore Heartland Rural Legacy Area, which covers parts of Caroline, Dorchester and Talbot counties, and $1,188,068.83 for the Tuckahoe Rural Legacy Area in Caroline and Talbot counties. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources said individual grant disbursements will come before the board at a later date.
The three-member board is made up of Gov. Wes Moore, Treasurer Dereck E. Davis and Comptroller Brooke E. Lierman, according to the department.
