The City of Frederick recently cut the ribbon celebrating a collaboration with Blink Charging for the installation of 20 new IQ 200 chargers across four downtown parking garages.
The new initiative will help accommodate both residents & visitors with electric vehicles by providing convenient charging options during downtown visits. The infrastructure improvement also strategically supports the City’s sustainability goals.
With bicycle-friendly city streets, easy access to the C&O canal, beautiful rolling countryside & mountain trails, and one-of-a-kind cycling festivals, Frederick has become a world-renowned destination for peddlers of all varieties and skill levels.
Below we take a quick look through the businesses, events, trails, and community groups that help support Frederick’s vibrant peddling ecosystem.
Earlier this month, Common Market, a community-owned organic and natural foods grocery store, announced its purchase of the former Safeway location on W. 7th Street. We caught up with General Manager Bob Thompson and Troy Sexton, the Category & Advertising Manager, to chat about the new location and their vision for it as a model of sustainability.
