Growth with
safeguards for
Frederick County.
Future Ready Frederick is an advocacy group dedicated to educating and informing the public about a data center project currently seeking approval from the Frederick County Board of Supervisors.
Innovation and development should move forward with safeguards that protect Frederick County’s environment, resources, and quality of life.
About
When it comes to data centers, Future Ready Frederick believes in innovation and development with safeguards. Residents choose to live in Frederick County because of its natural beauty, and any data center project should protect the environment and resources that make this county what it is.
The data center project currently under review by the Board of Supervisors is committed to using recycled water and keeping noise below required levels.
Right now, the Board of Supervisors is hearing largely from opponents of the project. If you support clean innovation and development, the county needs to hear from you too.

This project prioritizes Frederick County. Here's how:
Water & noise safeguards — binding county ordinance limits, not promises
Future Ready Frederick supports a binding county ordinance requiring water recycling and strict noise limits at any approved data center site. These aren't goals or aspirations. They’re enforceable conditions of approval, with public accountability built in from day one, including regular compliance reporting accessible to residents and the county.
Tax relief — new money for schools
A responsibly developed data center generates significant new tax revenue for Frederick County — revenue that supports schools, first responders, and infrastructure without requiring an increase in residential tax rates.
Jobs — construction and long-term positions for Frederick County residents
From skilled construction work during the build to ongoing technical and operational roles once the facility is running, this project creates employment opportunities for local workers and local contractors.

Sample Letter
“I'm a Frederick County resident, and I support responsible data center development — the kind that comes with binding water recycling requirements and strict noise limits written into county ordinance, real new revenue for our schools, and local jobs.
I'd ask the Board to move forward with this project on the condition that these safeguards are enforceable and permanent, not promises.
Thank you for representing our district.”
