Secretary Gill Presents New Strategic Plan for the Department of Commerce

“Best is the standard here at the Maryland Department of Commerce. Those words drive everything we do. And that simple promise is the foundation of our new strategic plan to drive Maryland’s economy to the heights we all know it can — and should — reach,” said Commerce Secretary Mike Gill while rolling out the department’s new strategic plan during an all-staff meeting held on March 1 at Baltimore’s World Trade Center.

Created by the Maryland Economic Development Commission, the new plan includes the state’s economic forecast, cites achievements made over the past year, and outlines a roadmap for Commerce to continue driving Maryland’s economic engine forward. “Every company we help start or grow,” said Secretary Gill, “every job we help create means more and better opportunities for our friends, family and neighbors. It means better jobs for our children and theirs.” To learn more about Commerce’s new direction, read the full plan here.
