CITY OF FREDERICK DEPARTMENT OFFICE MOVES TAKING PLACE BETWEEN NOW AND JULY 1

Frederick, Md. ---Several City of Frederick departments will either be relocated to new buildings or rearranged in existing buildings between now and July 1st.

Effective immediately the Department of Human Resources is located at the Airport Drive city facility. As a result of that move several Department of Public Works offices have been relocated within the same building. Contact numbers for the Department of Human Resources and effected DPW offices will remain the same.

Effective June 24, the Department of Economic Development will be located on the main level of City Hall. This move will save the City approximately $24,000 annually in rent. Due to this department moving from a privately owned building to a city facility, it is necessary to issue new phone numbers for the staff. Please note the changes in staff contact information:
