OUR MISSION

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.

In 2025:

  • Organized volunteers to raise awareness about the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project that would install a 70 mile, 500kV high-voltage power line through private homes, farms, and businesses to power Virginia data centers

  • Provided tools for residents to engage in the Maryland Public Service Commission’s permitting process
