Welcome From The Commissioners

The Board of County Commissioners welcomes you and wants to promote the message that economic development is a top priority for Allegany County.  Whether it be job creation, retention and expansion of existing business, or accessing programs that allow local, state and federal resources to be invested in infrastructure and developable land, our team of economic development professionals is here to serve you and your company’s needs. And we have a lot to offer – affordable real estate, a dedicated work force with a strong work ethic, excellent road and rail access to the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond, a quality of life that simply cannot be found in the metro areas, and quality health and education systems.

Each year more and more people choose Allegany County as a place to visit and enjoy its natural beauty and many recreational assets through our growing tourism industry.  Many of these people are now starting to look to make Allegany County their home – why not join them?

Welcome to the mountains of Western Maryland and Allegany County!
