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.

The project has received strong backing from city and state officials, who emphasize its potential to drive long-term economic growth. Mayor William McIntire of Hagerstown noted that the facility will create a substantial number of skilled jobs, requiring technology-focused workers to operate the sophisticated automated systems. Governor Wes Moore highlighted Maryland’s commitment to economic expansion and technological advancement, framing the NewCold project as a key example of the state’s business-friendly environment and focus on future industries.
Strategically located near the Port of Baltimore, the Hagerstown site was selected to maximize logistical efficiencies. The location offers easy access to major rail lines, highways, and airports, positioning NewCold to expand its international reach. State commerce officials anticipate the warehouse will enhance Maryland’s growing reputation as a logistics hub, boosting the state’s profile in the global food supply chain.
