Washington DC (KM) Funding for a Frederick city project is included in a bill recently passed by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The measure contains $380,000 to develop preliminary plans for the reconfiguration of the West Patrick Street and US 15 interchange. Officials says this project will improve equitable access to the downtown for disadvantaged communities.
