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!
City officials have scheduled the additional hearing to ensure thorough review and discussion of all submissions before the Commission. Residents are encouraged to attend and engage with the process, as these meetings often cover critical topics including zoning, land use, and development plans that directly affect the community’s growth and infrastructure.
Comprehensive agendas and staff reports for each hearing are now accessible on the city’s official website. This allows residents to familiarize themselves with the items under review and prepare comments or questions in advance of the meetings.

We didn't pick our name by accident. While other outlets are proud to be government 'Partners,' we are proud to be exactly what our namesake requires: Free from government influence, and free from government censorship. We don't lock our news behind a paywall, will you help us keep it that way? If you're tired of news sweetened with confirmation bias that never questions the 'official story', consider becoming a monthly supporter. Just $5/month helps fund our local reporting, live election night coverage, and more.
Those seeking further information are encouraged to contact Planning Division staff directly. Jennifer Van de Griek is available at (301) 600-1499 to address any inquiries. Community participation is a key component of the planning process, and local officials emphasize its importance in shaping the city’s future development.
