NOTTINGHAM, MD—Baltimore County Councilman David Marks on Friday announced that the new Fiscal Year 2026 county budget will include $4 million to complete the 22-acre park on Gerst Road in Perry Hall.
“I thank County Executive Klausmeier for supporting this request, which will help us finish the fifth new park in Perry Hall’s Honeygo area since 2010,” said Councilman Marks. “At this time, plans call for a largely passive park. We will share any additional news with the community, but make no mistake—if this property had not been secured for a park, it would have been developed into dozens of homes.”
“We thank Councilman Marks and County Executive Klausmeier for their support,” added Pat Keller, president of the Perry Hall Improvement Association.
“The White Marsh Recreation Council worked with Councilman Marks to secure this property, and we look forward to it becoming a reality.”
Councilman Marks thanked Senator J.B. Jennings and Delegates Ryan Nawrocki and Kathy Szeliga for their help as well.
The budget includes other important projects, including $375 million for sewer and water projects in eastern Baltimore County, $3 million to design parking lot improvements at Joppa View Elementary School, $1.8 million to air condition the cafeteria and auditorium at Perry Hall Elementary School, and $2.9 million to design and construct improvements at the park being created at the former C.P. Crane plant in Middle River.
No property or income tax rate increases are proposed in the budget request.
