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 event will take place at the Fort Ritchie Community Center on Monday, October 14, 2024, at 3:00 PM. The workshop is designed to provide an opportunity for community members to share their insights and ideas while also serving as a learning experience for senior landscape architecture students from the University of Maryland. These students will be tasked with addressing real-world challenges and proposing potential solutions based on the input they receive from the public.
As part of the partnership, the students will work on developing proposals to improve the community’s walkability and bikeability. They will return to the Fort Ritchie Community Center on December 4, 2024, at 3:00 PM to present their findings and proposed solutions to the public. The ideas generated from this collaborative effort could potentially lead to future engineering projects overseen by Washington County Government.
