We need your help to stay paywall free

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 assessment is being carried out by Past Matters, LLC, a Baltimore-based firm specializing in the preservation of art, artifacts, and architecture. The firm is scheduled to complete the fieldwork by November 2025. As part of the process, representatives will be photographing, measuring, and documenting public artworks and accompanying signage at various locations around Frederick.

This evaluation will serve as the foundation for a phased Conservation Plan, designed to support the upkeep of existing artworks over the next decade. The plan will also include guidance on how to protect the city’s collection through improved maintenance techniques and emergency preparedness strategies.
