Best is the standard here at the Maryland Department of Commerce. Those words drive everything we do. And that simple promise is the foundation of our new strategic plan to drive Maryland’s economy to the heights we all know it can — and should — reach.
Created by the Maryland Economic Development Commission, the plan outlines the state’s economic forecast, achievements we’ve made in the past year, and how Commerce can continue leading the charge in Maryland. Simply put, it’s our plan to put people back to work in good, family-supporting jobs.
The commission’s plan has six steps to do just that:
- Achieve Operational Excellence
- Foster a Competitive Business Environment
- Advance Innovation and Entrepreneurship
- Expand Targeted Industry Clusters
- Create One Maryland and Enhance Community Development
- Improve Brand and Talent Attraction
Economic development is a team sport. My teammates at Commerce are eager to work with our partners in higher education, in local governments, in other state agencies, in Annapolis and in businesses across the state to put this plan into action. From Western Maryland to the Eastern Shore, we are dedicated to making our state one of the best places to live, work, and start a business.
I invite you to learn more about the plan. Share your thoughts in the comment section below. How can you and your organization help our state reach its full economic potential?
Every company we help start or grow, every job we help create means more and better opportunities for our friends, family and neighbors. It means better jobs for our children and theirs.
