Business Advocacy
Development and Permitting Assistance
Baltimore County business development representatives work with company real estate staff, architects, engineers and facilities managers to assure you navigate the regulatory system in a timely manner. The County can assist with fast track permitting, coordinating community meetings, and advocating with state and federal agencies. The County can facilitate pre-development meetings with zoning, permitting, and environmental agencies to establish benchmarks and realistic timelines.
"General Motors' new plant in White Marsh to manufacture Allison transmissions went from groundbreaking to production in a record-setting 17 months. Baltimore County and the State of Maryland were a seamless team, always available when we needed them. They offered valuable assistance in site selection, cutting through red tape in environmental and construction permitting, training, and economic incentives."
