Anne Arundel County’s strategic location at the center of the Washington, D.C./Baltimore corridor, the nation’s 4th largest market, provides diverse business and lifestyle options.

Our economy is fueled by a strong base of world-class, private sector employers such as Northrop Grumman and ARINC; and critical intelligence and homeland-security oriented federal agencies including Fort George G. Meade and its 78 tenant organizations and the National Security Agency. Our Chesapeake Innovation Center (CIC) is accelerating new companies that are creating technologies to fight the war on terror, and has become a critical asset to the Informatics Corridor that exists within the Washington/Baltimore region.  In addition, new and expanding companies continue to invest in the county, making Anne Arundel one of the strongest economies in the State of Maryland and a leader in job growth.  Our economic strength combined with our exceptional quality of life make Anne Arundel County a regional leader and the corporate location of choice.
