HARFORD COUNTY OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT...

 

The Harford County Office of Economic Development (OED) offers programs and services to help foster business retention, growth and investment in order to stimulate job creation and enhance the County's quality of life. Development of the technology industry is of particular interest to OED, specifically the areas of homeland defense, research and development, and high-value manufacturing. OED utilizes Harford's strategic Mid-Atlantic location, "Fast Track" permitting capabilities, and technology resources available at Aberdeen Proving Ground and the Higher Education and Applied Technology (HEAT) Center to attract new business and investment. In addition, OED has increased in-house resources and programming to aid new expanding businesses, fuel redevelopment along the U.S. Route 40 Corridor, subsidize workforce training, and help diversity and expand the agriculture and tourism industries.
