Local growth shown in ribbon cutting photos and new deals
Officials helped attract a 70,000 square foot distribution center in Frederick County with community support, while new prospects include MedImmune land buys, Safeway reopening in Middletown, and a county land sale in McKinney Industrial Park. The sale favored Miscellaneous Metals at 905000 over MIE Properties but the latter’s plan could create 321 jobs if leased. Proceeds fund the county budget amid tougher sells for East Frederick Elementary School and Free State site in Point of Rocks. Toys R Us also conducted a notable ribbon cutting.
