CivicCon intends to engage Frederick residents in shaping the local community

A group of Frederick leaders are launching a local initiative with the goal of shaping an informed community through engaged civic conversations that improve the quality of life for our residents. Known as CivicCon, the plan includes hosting a speaker series that will bring in thought leaders and experts on a variety of subjects, according to Alan Feinberg, an architect and urban designer and one of the organizers behind this effort.

“We need to get people to start paying attention to what’s happening,” he said. “We need to have people take responsibility for shaping our own community.”
