Commissioner Charles Givens
As always, it is my pleasure to greet you via the internet. The Town of Elkton has been an active municipal branch of government providing services, addressing needs and exploring options to help and service some 6,000 residents.The Town has engaged itself in a multiplicity of activities. We have been actively seeking and exploring provisions to acquire additional water resources. Most recently, we broke ground for a state mandated upgrade of a Waste Treatment Plant. We have discussed proposed growth and development as it pertains to Elkton and with the forthcoming of BRAC (base realignment and closure) from Monmouth, New Jersey. The elected board has been amenable to the Police department for the adopted FOP referendum by the voters. Moreover, we continue to make the work place environment a meaningful exposure for our 121 employees. For the welfare of our citizens, we still try to provide a safe environment in the Town of Elkton despite the “ills of society.”
If you examine the Town, you will observe Union Hospital is in the process of building a parking garage and an Adult day Care Center. Cecil Community College has anchored an educational institution labeled “Elk Station.” Downtown Elkton has been designated an A&E (arts & entertainment) district coupled with the support of the Elkton Chamber & Alliance. The route 40 corridor has certainly attracted attention with its many businesses, yet Bridge Street to route 213 south has been blossoming with consumer attracted businesses. Elkton has become much more marketable “to and fro” with the DART bus transport services. Our Parks and Recreation program is operable and does a commendable job despite budgetary and facility restraints. Come and see the new A&E street banners hanging on the poles along Main Street. Visit the six newly designed Elks around down that have caught the attention of Cecil County. Our community is sprawling with new growth of homes and housing developments. Elkton High School is enduring needed renovations. Come and see what is going on in Elkton!
I am humbly fortunate to have the civic opportunity to serve as town Commissioner. It has truly been rewarding and a continuous learning process, which has been reinforced by a positive working relationship with town constituents, past and current elected officials and the current Elkton Town Board.
Should you have questions, concerns, ideas or suggestions, please contact me. I am always available to serve your needs. I invite your participation in town government and I encourage your input to make Elkton a better place.
Respectfully,
Charles Givens
