County accelerates loan payment plan
Frederick County Commissioners voted to accelerate a 1.7 million loan to King Realty LLC issued in 1896 from a community development block grant. The funds helped develop Farms Direct Inc in Wedgewood Business Park south of Frederick, which later led to 160 job losses after FD I was sold, and Global Products Solutions acquired it before it shuttered. The loan payments were intercepted by Sandy Spring National Bank, and George King says the effort now is to sell or lease the Wedgewood building to repay the bank and county and restore jobs.
