The City of Frederick, Maryland, has announced that demolition is now underway at the site of the former Frederick News-Post print facility, which will be transformed into a hotel and convention center.

“This project represents untapped potential for economic growth, for smart, sustainable development, and for creating opportunities for families in Frederick,” said Michael O'Connor, Mayor of Frederick.

The $100 million public-private partnership aims to boost local tourism and revitalize downtown Frederick, positioning the city as a top destination for conferences and events. The 2.6-acre site, once home to the newspaper’s print operations, will play a crucial role in the city's transformation.

An adjacent 41,000-square-foot building, the Trolley Building, may also be renovated to accommodate mixed-use retail and office spaces, according to Bates Architecture. The demolition phase officially began in December with a ceremony attended by Governor Wes Moore and local officials.
