“The activity in the county is like nothing I’ve seen, including the real estate. But I’m an ag guy. I’ve never leased a business property like we’re doing now. The Carroll County EDC has been absolutely vital to our success.”

“If Carroll County is going to grow and thrive, we have to create opportunities here for our future workforce—the youth in our schools right now—by integrating and adapting our education to what businesses need. We can develop this modern workforce in partnership with the EDC because they know where the broader economy, where industry, is headed.”
