After more than two decades at City Hall, the City of Frederick Department of Economic Development (DED) has relocated to its new home at 111 Council Street. The relocation reflects the City’s commitment to serving a growing and evolving community, providing a more efficient workspace with expanded capacity to support local businesses and the DED team.
The new office also accommodates two recent additions to the department: Cindy Perez, Office Manager, and Andie Feldman, Business Development Specialist (Bilingual).
Cindy Perez, Office Manager
Cindy Perez joins DED from the Mayor’s Office with over ten years of administrative and operational experience. In her new role, she supports day‑to‑day operations, strengthens internal systems, and helps ensure that staff, stakeholders, and business community members feel informed, supported, and valued.
Andie Feldman, Economic Development Specialist
Andie Feldman brings experience in economic development, fluency in Spanish, and a global perspective shaped by years living abroad. She holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from the College of William & Mary and has worked in both FinTech and local government. Andie looks forward to engaging with and supporting Frederick’s diverse business community.
The new downtown location adjacent to City Hall also includes office space for representatives of the city’s Manager of Arts and Culture as well as the city’s Contract Compliance Administrator.
The Department of Economic Development remains committed to meeting the needs of Frederick’s growing business community and strengthening connections across Maryland’s fastest growing city.
