City Expands Off-site Office Hours to Help Local Businesses

A view of the Golden Mile and the future Frederick Towne Center. The Department of Economic Development is expanding its office hours to include hours at the Way Off Broadway Theatre beginning on April 21, 2016.

Staff from the City of Frederick's Department of Economic Development (DED) began to pilot off-site office hours in February 2015. The goal for holding office hours is to provide additional opportunities to connect with entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small businesses in convenient locations throughout the community.  

The pilot program initially included office hours at Frederick's high-technology business incubator (FITCI) and in Downtown at Cowork Frederick. The program is now expanding to the Golden Mile with hours planned for the third Thursday of the month at the Way Off Broadway Theatre beginning on Thursday, April 21 from 1-3 p.m.

In addition to office hours, City economic development staff is always available to meet with businesses by appointment.
