Atop Maryland’s Eastern Shore and just 45 minutes from both Baltimore and Philadelphia, lies beautiful Cecil County. With a diverse industry mix and an amazing quality of life, many leading companies and their employees call Cecil County home. Having a well-defined growth corridor with robust modern infrastructure supporting commercial and industrial development has allowed a majority of the county to continue in agricultural use. In fact, Cecil County remains the most rural county along the I-95 corridor between Boston and Richmond. The county’s landscape offers breathtaking water and pastoral views as it goes from the coastal plain lowlands to the rolling piedmont and includes 200 miles of waterfront on the Chesapeake Bay, 5 of its many rivers, and the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal.
With three interchanges on I-95 and a fourth coming in the next two years, interstate travel is easy from Cecil County and provides access to more than 90 million people within an eight-hour drive. Cecil County is only 45 minutes from the Philadelphia and Baltimore/Washington International Airports and deep-water ports are also a 45-minute drive, putting imports and exports within easy reach. Heavy rail lines are also accessible, and your employees will have access to commuter rail and public transportation to get them to your company’s door.
While Cecil County continues to grow all industry sectors, such as manufacturing at Northrop Grumman’s new Hypersonics Center of Excellence and the opening of the largest Great Wolf Lodge in the country, the county and its eight municipalities work hard to retain the charm and feel of smalltown America. Throughout the year there are events for the entire family, including First Fridays, national fishing tournaments, postcard worthy parades, festivals and fairs, and international events like the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, which draws over 25,000 attendees to watch the world’s top equestrian eventers compete in dressage, cross-country, and show jumping.
