Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!
We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The expansion, beginning this fall, will include the construction of a model home that will set the standard for the planned independent living cottages. The model home, designed by Noelker & Hull Associates, will be a 1,600-square-foot, single-family cottage with two bedrooms, two baths, a den, a two-car garage, and a sunroom. It will also feature high-end amenities such as a fireplace, granite countertops, and an open floor plan. The model is expected to be completed by early spring 2025.
Stephen Coetzee, President and CEO of Fahrney Keedy, highlighted the importance of this project for the future of senior care. He stated, “Independent living is becoming an increasingly important option for the future of senior care. It serves our aging population at a point in their lives when they’re able to still be autonomous and embrace an active lifestyle yet plan for their future by being part of a continuum of care.”

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
This project is made possible by a generous donation from resident Sylvia Frank, whose contribution will fully cover the cost of constructing the model home. Frank hopes that her support will help generate interest and pre-sales for the future development, which will eventually include 36 individual units pending final approval from the Maryland Department of Aging.
Paul Crampton Jr. of Paul Crampton Contractors expressed excitement about joining Fahrney Keedy in this endeavor. “We’re looking forward to being part of your community and constructing this model. I think it’s going to bring a lot of people down here who’ll truly appreciate this way of life,” Crampton said.

Founded in 1905, Fahrney Keedy has a rich history of serving seniors through a continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation services. As a nonprofit organization, Fahrney Keedy also maintains a benevolence fund to ensure that no resident is ever denied care due to financial hardship.
