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%?

The plan represents a comprehensive effort to address roadway safety for all users, including drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Copies of the draft are available for public review at the Washington County Free Library in Hagerstown, on the HEPMPO and City of Hagerstown websites, and in person at the HEPMPO office located at 33 W. Washington Street, Suite 402. Interested individuals can access the full plan as well as related maps and data through online platforms.
Public input will be collected exclusively through written comments. Feedback may be submitted by email, through an online contact form, or by mailing or delivering comments directly to the HEPMPO office. An opportunity for in-person engagement will also be provided at a public meeting scheduled for April 23, 2025, from 5:00 to 6:30 PM at the Washington County Free Library’s Conference Room 334. A virtual option will be available for remote participants, and a recorded presentation will be shared online.
