Sep. 8—The head of the company seeking to develop Frederick's Brickworks property is confident that his firm can address environmental concerns on the site, as the city's Planning Commission prepares to hold a hearing on a plan for the project next week.

"It's part of what we do, we seek out contaminated sites," Brian Gibbons, CEO of the Baltimore-based development firm Greenberg Gibbons, said in an interview Wednesday.

The Frederick Planning Commission is scheduled on Monday at 6 p.m. to hold the first of two hearings on the master plan for the project, which would build up to 1,260 residential units and up to 130,000 square feet of retail space.
