In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.

But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.

We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?

The Sustainable Maryland program acknowledges municipalities that implement comprehensive strategies to enhance environmental quality, economic well-being, and community resilience. Achieving Silver level indicates that the City of Frederick has met a significant number of the program’s requirements and has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainable practices. This recognition reflects the hard work of city staff and numerous volunteers dedicated to preserving natural resources and ensuring the city’s long-term viability for future generations.

The program emphasizes the growing importance of local governments in addressing climate change impacts, especially in the absence of comprehensive federal action. Municipalities are increasingly taking the lead in developing and implementing strategies for a more sustainable and carbon-neutral future. The collective efforts of certified communities contribute to building more resilient towns and cities across the state.

The City of Frederick’s sustainability initiatives encompass a range of programs and policies aimed at improving environmental performance and community well-being.
