Baltimore County has the resources and the know-how to help businesses thrive. Our diverse business community of more than 22,000 companies can be found on corporate campuses in White Marsh, Hunt Valley and Owings Mills, in research and development facilities at UMBC and Towson University, inside federal headquarters of the Social Security Administration and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and in the neighborhood shops of our traditional downtowns. With nationally recognized public schools and a variety of tight-knit communities, Baltimore County is more than just a great place to do business. It is a great place for the people who make businesses work.
Baltimore County is committed to a renaissance of commercial communities as they mature, so they stay vital, attractive places to live and work. Lively main streets with renovated shopping areas and dynamic town centers are replacing aging strip malls. New tax credits are available to help maintain and restore historically significant properties and to encourage construction of high performance green buildings. We can assist with site selection, financing, workforce, development and training. We can help you make the most of Enterprise Zones, tax credits and international trade opportunities.
New regional partnerships offer opportunities to maximize the economic impact of the influx of defense communications jobs moving to Central Maryland as part of the federal base realignment.
