City and faith coalition open temporary cold weather shelter
Frederick will use part of the former McHenry Auto Parts building at East and East Patrick streets as a temporary cold weather shelter this winter. Mayor Jim Grimes announced the agreement with the Religious Coalition for Emergency Human Needs at a Greater Frederick Development Corp meeting. The shelter has operated at Adventist Drive for three years but that space is now occupied by the National Museum of Civil War Medicine during renovations to its own site.

Conservation group fights AT&T receiver station expansion
The Harpers Ferry Conservancy filed a petition with the FCC challenging AT&T Corp to perform an environmental assessment before expanding a receiver station on Catholic Church Road. The plan would increase the site from 150 square feet to two floors and 15 720 square feet amid local opposition and a supporting request from Middletown attorney Pat Carter to reexamine planning commission approval. The Shafer Farm area near the Battle of Cramptons Gap is cited as national register eligible, with concerns over preserving rural landscape and potential implications for broader expansions.
