Getting More Goods to More Markets

Goods flow through Allegany County on a daily basis. Whether connecting at CSX's Cumberland Terminal Subdivision via container coming from the Ports of Baltimore or Norfolk, or traveling westward via I-68, Allegany County has always been a center of logistics and commerce. Mule-pulled canal boats made way for an intricate highway system. Rail lines still intersect the county, and many local manufacturers benefit from having dedicated spurs on-site. With continued state and federal investment in our roads and bridges, Allegany County offers competitive and comprehensive transport infrastructure to help you get your product on shelves, faster.
