Today, Frederick County Executive Jessica Fitzwater announced an agreement that will provide $110 million in developer-funded benefits to the residents of Adamstown and Frederick County and require Catellus, the master developer of the Frederick Digital Campus, to take meaningful steps to make the campus more sustainable and less reliant on County resources.

Catellus will reduce the square footage of data center development by nearly 20 percent, reduce potable water usage by 80 percent, and provide 433 acres of nature reserve at the campus. The community benefit agreement will directly provide:

- $30 million for renovations to Carroll Manor Elementary School.

- $40 million for a community center and recreational space.

- $14.5 million for a workforce development training center and career and technical education.

- $10.5 million for agricultural land preservation.

- $10 million for perimeter berming, planting, and trails.

- $5 million for a community solar project, which will reduce energy bills for Adamstown residents.

- $1 million for a new fire engine for the Carroll Manor Volunteer Fire Company.

These investments are a direct result of the 2024 Data Center Workgroup final report, feedback provided at community listening sessions earlier this year, and concerns voiced by residents throughout this public process. Catellus’ application for a Development Rights and Responsibilities Agreement begins a process that will be public, transparent, and accountable to the community.

The application, which clearly defines Catellus’ responsibilities to the County and the community, is available online at www.FrederickCountyMD.gov/DataCenters. Public comment is encouraged and will be accepted until September 10. View the announcement here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aNmiw2u-_4
