Last week I showed you a few scenes of the more bucolic part of Frederick County. This week I bring you a few shots of the business environment in and near Frederick City. The first 3 photos are of new buildings in an industrial park just east of the city. The first appears to be a manufacturing facility; the others are office/warehouse type buildings. When I took these pictures in July the buildings looked like they were ready for occupancy, but not yet in use. 
This is a photo of part of the satellite facility at Fort Detrick. Fort Detrick is expanding due to the ongoing realignment of US military bases. The base is primarily a medical research facility and is home to the Army Medical Research and Material Command and the National Cancer Research Institute. In the 1970's the Russia-US hot line was located here.
