ELEVATING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE STATE OF MARYLAND

Economic Development Week in Maryland

  • This event has passed.

Overview

Economic Development Week in Maryland will emphasize to the general public the importance of economic development for the State of Maryland. The week is designed to increase an understanding of economic development’s contribution to the State’s business climate, job retention and growth, the tax base and the overall quality of life in Maryland.
