Surviving COVID-19 in a Small Town: What the Frostburg Community has Accomplished During the Pandemic
As we approach the one-year mark of the first positive COVID-19 cases in Maryland, it is important to reflect on some of the positives in our lives. This year has not been without its challenges. We have faced illness and uncertainty, as well as new regulations and mandatory quarantines. It has been a difficult time, especially for small businesses. Despite this, the city of Frostburg has continued to thrive. Our community has adapted quickly and efficiently. Restaurants remained open with takeout, delivery and outdoor dining.

Frostburg, like many small cities around the country, may be experiencing higher infection rates and increased concern about spreading the virus. And yet, Frostburg continues to thrive.
