“We are deeply appreciative of Gov. Moore’s visit to Calvert County,” said BOCC President Earl F. “Buddy” Hance. “This provided an opportunity for the governor and his staff to gain a better understanding of our rural county, and we look forward to future collaborations that support the well-being of our residents.”
