What happened
The Frederick County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning for the Gibson Property, a 244-acre industrial development in the Shawnee District. The rezoning changed three parcels of land from Rural Areas to Light Industrial. Following the vote, audience members claimed Board Chairman John Jewell acted in bad faith after meeting with the applicant's attorney before the meeting took place.

Why it matters
The approval allows for one of the largest industrial developments in the mid-Atlantic region. The decision follows a recommendation from the Frederick County Planning Commission to deny the rezoning. The project is located near the Lake Frederick residential community and the Madison 277 residential development.
