York Building Products has requested a change in the zoning designation for property adjacent to the Town of Charlestown.  After opposition to the project was voiced York Building Products asked for the issue to be tabled while they make efforts to allay residents fears.  We will keep you update as to the rescheduled vote of the County Council.

The bulk service collection day is scheduled for the last Wednesday of October 28,  2020. Bulk collections will only be approved for those residents who have called the Town Hall and scheduled a collection appointment. In order to assure your bulk item is collected, call the Town Hall, 410-287-6173, by 9am the day before the scheduled collection day. Bulk trash is intended for residents who need to dispose of a few large items, if you have more than that, you should find other means to take your items to the landfill.  In addition we cannot take construction materials.

At the meeting of July 25, 2017 the Commissioners of Charlestown voted in favor of adopting an update of Ordinance #9 to the following:  The charge to launch a boat at the municipal boat ramp will be $10.00 a day or $25.00 for a yearly pass for in state boaters and $75.00 a year for  out of state boaters.  The daily fee will be collected by an honor box system located at the boat ramp, or by using the ParkMobile App (.35 fee charged by the app).  Yearly passes will be sold at Town Hall during regular business hours ( Mondays through Thursdays 7:30 to 5:00 and Fridays from 7:30 to 4).  The passes are good for the calendar year ending December 31, of the year purchased.

The Commissioners recently voted to b e g i n  a relationship with ParkMobile to collect fees for parking. This is amobile app. We have four different zones in town. Y o u r p a r k i n g permit stickers will preclude you from getting a ticket if you park in any of the spots in town that are in the ParkMobile zones. One of the zones included is the boat launch. You may now pay your fees for daily launch by the honor box or by using the ParkMobile app. The fee for launching by the honor box will remain at $10.00 cash or check. The ParkMobile cost is $10.35. Your yearly stickers are still honored as well.
