Crofton Council Distributes $550,000 to Local Nonprofits

The Greater Crofton Council last week distributed more than $550,000 to 26 local groups, including $100,000 to the Arundel High Booster Club. 

The group handed out checks totaling $554,500, eight years after striking a deal with a developer.

The money for nonprofit groups stemmed from an agreement struck in 2005 with the Coscan/Adler Limited Partnership, developer of the Enclave at Riedel Pond. Money could not be distributed until deeds to the plots were received only recently. 

All public schools in the Crofton area received some money, and groups dedicated to athletics and the arts also got checks.
