Economic Development

Overview

The Maryland Counties Economic Development Partnership provides a forum for county Economic Development professionals to exchange ideas and experiences and promote the economic health of Maryland for its residents. Working in tandem with the Maryland Association of Counties (MACo), State departments and agencies, and other complementary organizations or groups, the Partnership will focus on education, relationship-building, and public policy to strengthen Maryland’s economy. Elections are held in even-numbered years during the Partnership’s December meeting.
