FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB) December 21, 2021 - On Friday, December 10, 2021, Governor Larry Hogan announced new awardees for the State Revitalization Programs administered by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). Among those projects funded were three within The City of Frederick.

I am thrilled to see the States support of these critical community initiatives, said Mayor Michael OConnor. Together these programs and projects address key priorities within our city -- including property revitalization, the promotion & accessibility of the arts, and increased affordable housing opportunities -- and will lead to an improved quality of life for our residents.

The City of Fredericks Department of Economic Development supports application of DHCD grant funds and oversees disbursement and quarterly reporting. Richard Griffin, Director of Economic Development, explained The States revitalization awards are key to spurring strategic economic growth across the city. By leveraging public, private, and nonprofit investments, local projects can be more significant in both size and impact. We look forward to seeing new business activity and increased community vibrancy because of these projects.
