Work Session Focuses on Economic Diversification

Members of the St. Mary’s County Economic Development Commission are working on economic diversification.

The EDC is committed to find a way to diversify the economy in St. Mary’s County. This month, the EDC is holding meetings to create a strategy for this purpose. The EDC’s next meeting is set for 6 pm Feb. 17, 2016, at the Joseph D. Carter State Office Building in Leonardtown.

The St. Mary’s County Economic Development is a volunteer board and its meetings are open to the public. The commission, like all of the county’s volunteer boards, commissions, and committees, works alongside county staff to discuss a variety of issues that affect St. Mary’s County.

The main purpose of the EDC is to represent the economic interest of citizens and businesses in St. Mary’s County. Members of the EDC work together to develop, revise or replace the county’s economic strategy, and share their information with county government staff.
