We appreciate those who choose to establish businesses on and around Main Street Taneytown and are committed to helping them thrive. In addition to the opportunities within Taneytown itself such as networking, classes, resource connections, design consultation, and expert business consultation, many incentives for new and existing business owners are often available through grants and assistance programs. These are offered by organizations such as, but not exclusively, Main Street America, Main Street Maryland, the City of Taneytown, Carroll County Economic Development, and Maryland Economic Development. Taneytown’s own steward for Economic Development, Nancy McCormick does an amazing job keeping up on the availability and acquisition of these benefits. Contact her at nbmccormick@taneytown.org.
