Located on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the Salisbury area is fast becoming a strategic destination for industrial and commercial investment. Its central position between major markets like Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia, along with access to US Route 50 and the Salisbury–Ocean City–Wicomico Regional Airport, gives businesses a distinct logistical advantage.

Recent years have seen significant growth in industrial parks and distribution centers, driven by demand for modern warehousing and manufacturing space. The Salisbury–Wicomico region continues to attract new development, with local authorities actively supporting site readiness and infrastructure improvements.

The Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce works closely with the City of Salisbury and Wicomico County to streamline permitting and connect businesses to key resources.

Maryland offers a suite of incentives, including the More Jobs for Marylanders program and various tax credits, to encourage both expansion and relocation. Regional economic development offices provide hands-on assistance for site selection, workforce training, and navigating state and local incentives.
