Projects

So many projects are already here. So many more are just waiting to become a reality.

Check out how these projects have made the most of this incredible, largely untapped area. Some have found the perfect space in historic old buildings. Others have built their own. But in every case, the feeling is the same: East Frederick is awesome.

Frederick is uniquely positioned to become an economic hub of mid-Maryland, and East Frederick presents an opportunity to conceive and realize a bold modern concept of adaptive re-use, revitalization and urban development. The East Frederick Area spans from the eastern edge of the City of Frederick through the historically industrial part of the City and eastward to the Monocacy River (including the Frederick Fairgrounds and the Frederick Municipal Airport.) As this area includes one of the largest reserves of industrial and light industrial properties in the county, the potential for innovative mixed-use redevelopment is unprecedented in the region.

East Frederick is envisioned to serve as a technology incubator, jobs center, transportation hub, and marquee urban neighborhood. Development is in the early stages now and will continue over the next 30-50 years. The mission of East Frederick Rising is to guide the vision and planning processes to ensure that the extraordinary potential of East Frederick is fully realized.
