The Caroline County Commissioners meeting on May 13, 2025, focused on significant updates regarding local facilities and services, particularly the Whitsett Center.

During the meeting, officials discussed the ongoing relationship with homeless service providers, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in addressing community needs. A key topic was the Whitsett Center, which had previously been slated for closure as part of a divestiture plan initiated in 2021. However, after advocacy efforts from local leaders, the center was removed from the closure list.

The commissioners highlighted that Governor Moore allocated $4 million for infrastructure improvements at the Whitsett Center, which is over 40 years old and in need of critical repairs, including a new boiler. The planned enhancements are set to begin this summer, with completion expected by December 2025.

This development is seen as a vital step in maintaining essential services for the community, reflecting the county's commitment to supporting local facilities and addressing the needs of its residents.
