Transforming the east side into a vibrant “smart growth” community

Building a Great Community

We’d like to help build a community on the east side of town that’s:

  • Friendly and close-knit
    There are convenient spaces where people can gather.
  • Economically prosperous
    Businesses have readily available sources of customers and workers.
  • Healthy and safe
    Citizens can walk to where they want to go. They’re protected from traffic.
  • Pleasant to live in
    Wooded streets and parks create a sense of calm and look beautiful.

To do this, we must change Frederick’s zoning practices, adhere to the principles of “smart growth,” and employ modern transit systems.

If we do these things, Fredericktonians will get a whole host of benefits.
