For almost 20 years, the Washington County Community Coalition has worked to advocate in Annapolis for important initiatives in our community, and educating State leaders and policy makers on the priorities, activities, and strengths of Washington County. Since its inception, the Coalition’s community partner organizations have brought almost $300 million back to the County for worthwhile projects and initiatives, including $10 million for the downtown library, $70 million for the new downtown stadium, and $150 million to widen about half of I-81.
