No businesses were celebrating a milestone of 50, 75 or 100 years in operation this year. “These new businesses and expansions are a positive sign of the continual innovation taking place in our community,” said Christian. “It is our hope that this program helps people take notice that there is growth and development happening in Garrett County. It may not be flashy like landing Amazon HQ2 but these businesses are creating jobs and investing in our community and we’re proud to have them in Garrett County.”
