Governor Larry Hogan today announced $13.5 million in Waterway Improvement Fund grants for Fiscal Year 2022 to enhance and improve public boating access, facilities, and navigation throughout the state.
“Boating is not just an important part of our history and our culture, it is also an important part of Maryland’s economy,” said Governor Hogan. “The announcement of these new grants is yet another shining example that Maryland is open for business, open for summer, and open for boating.”
According to the automotive retailer, AutoNation USA San Antonio is one of five new stores that will open in 2021. Meanwhile, an additional 12 AutoNation USA stores will open in 2022. The company is aiming to have a total of 130 AutoNation USA stores open across the country by the end of 2026.
