Frederick County Executive Jessica Fitzwater described the zone as a dynamic corridor, noting that the renewal offers a stable foundation for ongoing revitalization efforts.

Maryland Extends Brunswick Enterprise Zone for Another Decade
The Maryland Department of Commerce has granted a ten-year extension to the Brunswick Enterprise Zone, a move designed to anchor long-term commercial investment across 1,060 acres of Frederick County. By focusing on the historic downtown district and the Petersville Road corridor, officials aim to accelerate local redevelopment and job creation.
Businesses operating within these boundaries gain access to specific state income tax credits linked to job creation, alongside local property tax incentives tied to capital investment. These fiscal tools proved significant statewide during the last cycle; in Fiscal Year 2025 alone, companies across Maryland’s 30 designated zones secured $56.3 million in property tax credits, underpinned by more than $5 billion in collective capital investment. The city intends to utilize this decade-long stability to bridge the gap between historic preservation and modern commercial growth.
