State Farm to hand over Oak Street office as new tenant plans hundreds of jobs
Officials say the 208 000 square foot Oak Street building in Frederick will soon house a new occupant adding hundreds of jobs and boosting the county tax base. State Farm declined to name the buyer and indicated the noon ceremony marks the transition from the former regional office opened in 1965. The move follows the firm’s relocation to a larger Trading Lane facility last year.
