Because of the large turn out, we dispensed with individual introductions but did recognize guests who were present.

Chairman Steve Roth introduced program chairperson Clare Berrang after recognizing Clare for the splendid job she is doing in bringing us significant and timely programs.

Clare introduced Bob Hannon, Executive Director of the Department of Economic Development for Baltimore County. Bob gave us an overview of the work of the Department and introduced Anthony Solomon to present our program today. Anthony is Business Development Director (North). Anthony can be reached at 410-887-8014 or at asolomon@co.ba.md.us.

Anthony’s PowerPoint presentation focused on the tools the Department has to help businesses grow. Those are:

Real Estate Information Overview presented by Anthony with Nevitt Edwards presenting research capabilities.

County Financing Assistance presented by Stan Jacobs

Workforce Assistance presented by Sara Trenery

International Trade Assistance presented by Anthony.

A booklet prepared by the Department specifically for this presentation was available. The booklet covered the presentation in detail and included contacts and other helpful information. Contact Anthony for a copy of this hand out if you did not get one.

Following this presentation, Randall Scott gave us a road construction update. A report on road projects is attached.

Barbara Bauman of the Falls Road Community Association was present because of her concerns about traffic in the Hunt Valley areas.
