Advancing a Sustainable, Resilient Community through Civic Engagement
"If we envision it, we can achieve it."
2025-2026
Envision Frederick County has been working hard the past year to engage county residents on matters that impact our land, culture, and character.
In Maryland’s fastest growing county, we’re staying on top of the issues that you need to know about and offering ways to get involved. We’re advocating for action when necessary, to ensure a sustainable and resilient community for all.
We have been busy.
