Taneytown's social services center will be named Taneytown Human Services Center, the City Council decided at its Monday night meeting.

The center, a renovated former bank building at 24 E. Baltimore St., serves the northwest area of Carroll County.

The Department of Social Services, Carroll County Youth Services Bureau, Human Services Programs of Carroll County Inc. and Taneytown Caring and Sharing Ministries have offices in the building.

The agencies provide counseling, Medicaid assistance, food stamps and help with job searches to needy residents.

The center opened in April.
