History of the Chamber In the 1920s, chambers of commerce were established to serve as economic development entities, helping businesses grow, supporting an educated workforce, establishing practices for workforce development, and steering legislation that was business-friendly. The Cecil County Chamber of Commerce began as a subsidiary of the New Castle County Chamber in Delaware. It was formed primarily as an outlet for the New Castle Chamber’s insurance sales program in Maryland. In 1987, the Board of Directors of the Cecil County Chamber voted to declare independence from New Castle, and a part-time Executive Director was hired. On January 1, 1988, the Cecil County Chamber became a completely autonomous entity. Through the efforts of several influential Cecil County citizens, a capital campaign was organized. Approximately $30,000 was donated by local government and businesses. These monies, along with the charter members’ initial dues investments, enabled the Chamber to survive for the first couple of years, while becoming established and developing its own programs and fundraising activities. Today the membership is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of no more than 15 member business representatives, a President/CEO, and two full time employees. In January 2017, the Chamber moved to its current location at 216 E. Pulaski Highway (Route 40), in Elkton. Cecil County’s local business community has needs and interests similar to those who were served by the very first chambers of commerce nearly a century ago. The Board, staff and volunteers of the Cecil County Chamber of Commerce are committed to meeting those needs and helping our member businesses grow and prosper.

Neighborly communities offer a unique character and fascinating history, as well as youth sports teams, family friendly events, a community hospital, volunteer opportunities, and wonderful outdoor recreation.

A Message from our County Executive Dear Chamber Members and Friends, Cecil County Government has entered its second term of Charter government, our transition from commissioner form has been successful, a solid foundation has been prepared and our future remains bright. Our Office of Economic Development partners with state agencies as well as the Chamber to support our existing businesses and their workforce. We continue to draw interest from prospects and are happy to celebrate the 7 new businesses who have chosen Cecil to be their new home, as well as the 10 businesses that are expanding. Our Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long term outlook is good. It is our hope that we will be able to continue with the same fiscal responsibility as in FY 2016 and achieve similar positive results in FY 2017. The Executive branch pledges to cooperate fully with the Council to make Cecil County a success and to meet our economic and fiscal challenges that are ahead of us. The Cecil County Chamber has both served and been the voice of the business community. I wish them luck as they transition to their new location on Pulaski Highway, while continuing the legacy of standing for free enterprise. While the path forward will require our best, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident that by working together we will accomplish great things for Cecil County businesses and the Cecil County community. Best wishes for continued success! Alan McCarthy Cecil County Executive

LOCATION & TRANSPORTATION Strategic Access to Key Markets Cecil County’s desirable Mid-Atlantic location on the Interstate 95 I-95 corridor in northeastern Maryland has made it one of the region’s most sought after business locations. Situated midway between the metropolitan areas of Baltimore and Philadelphia, Cecil County’s strategic location offers businesses overnight access to markets in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia and Washington, DC. Cecil County’s well-developed transportation system offers easy access via land, rail and water. On November 14, 1963, President John F. Kennedy came to Cecil County to dedicate the area’s first modernday toll road. Today I-95, along with US Route 40, supports the Growth Corridor. Three interchanges Perryville, North East and Elkton provide direct access for each of the County’s eight commercial industrial parks. Main lines for CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads, plus

Amtrak commuter lines, provide vital rail transportation linkages. The Chesapeake and Delaware (C&D) Canal provides easy connections to the Chesapeake Bay and the Port of Baltimore for both commercial transport and leisure travel. Millions of tons of cargo are transported through the Canal annually. The US Army Corps of Engineers project office is located in Chesapeake City, along with the C&D Canal Museum and the Bethel Bridge Lighthouse. Scheduled air service is available one hour south of Cecil County on I-95 at the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport BWI, and 45 minutes to the north on I-95 at the Philadelphia International Airport PHL. Air service is also available at the New Castle Airport in nearby Wilmington, DE. Claremont Airport Cecil County Airport, south of the town of Elkton, has a 2,600 foot runway.

CECIL COUNTY GOVERNMENT On November 2, 2010, the citizens of Cecil County voted to switch to a charter form of government. This allowed them to establish a more dynamic, efficient, and responsive form of county government and empowered them to exercise greater local authority to govern. Charter government allows for the separation of the executive and legislative branches. Both the County Executive and County Council serve four year terms. Cecil County’s first County Executive was elected on November 6, 2012. The Council is comprised of five county residents who reside in their respective districts and are elected at large by the Cecil County voters. The Council members choose a President and Vice President from among their members. The General Fund budget for Cecil County for fiscal year 2017 was approved at $182.96 million. Property taxes account for 59 percent of the County’s revenues, while 31 percent comes from local income taxes. Budgeted expenses for fiscal 2017 include $116.5 million (64 percent of the total budget) for transfers, and just over $41 million (22 percent) for salaries and fringe benefits. The County budget also supports the community’s high quality of life through outstanding citizen service programs, over 200 miles of shoreline, and 15,000 acres of parkland.

OUR TOWNS Eclectic Charm, Scenic Beauty, Rich History Cecilton Cecilton owes its existence to August Herman, an immigrant to America in 1633 and subject of heroic legend. He was the builder and first Lord of Bohemia Manor. Herman made several attempts to establish a town named for his friend Cecilius Calvert in lower Cecil County, but, uncharacteristically, he was not successful. Several generations later, a descendant again took up the task and founded a town that survived. That was Cecilton, incorporated in 1864. Located between the Bohemia and Sassafras Rivers, which attracts a great deal of seasonal tourism to the town, it is centered at the largest crossroads south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Cecilton is the hub of community, public facilities and services offered in lower Cecil County. The town continues to provide a hometown look and feel even though it is within close proximity to a growing region. Individuals can enjoy services, benefits and amenities of traditional urban services, but in the middle of the beauty, peacefulness and quiet countryside of rural life. The town is surrounded by farmland that is an important component of its history and economy, much of which has been placed in agricultural preservation programs, ensuring that the town will maintain its rural character.

Charlestown Located where the North East River meets the Chesapeake Bay, Charlestown was an active shipping center in its early days. In 1742 the colonial village became the first incorporated town in Cecil County, and briefly served as the county seat. Although today Charlestown is peaceful and primarily residential, you’ll also find marinas, growing businesses, several restored colonial structures, and a wharf that’s quite a popular place to cast a line and catch a fish.

Chesapeake City Once known as the “Village of Bohemia,” Chesapeake City was incorporated in 1839 shortly after the construction and opening of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. Today it is the only town in Maryland situated on a working commercial canal. Most of its interesting 19th-century architecture remains intact and the historic area on the south bank is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Chesapeake City is a destination town widely known for its unique inland view of ocean-going vessels, proudly preserved and displayed reminders of its history, and friendly hospitality. Travelers discover fine dining, picturesque stores, art galleries, outdoor concerts, seasonal events, bed & breakfasts, hiking/bicycling trails, and an outstanding museum showcasing the history of the Canal.

Elkton Elkton is located on the colonial highway of America. Our country’s forefathers navigated its waterways and traveled its roads when heading north to Philadelphia, or south to Virginia. Once known as Head of Elk named by Captain John Smith, it sits at the northern headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay. Elkton played a significant role in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Many of the town’s beautiful colonial structures remain today, surrounded by buildings that reflect an active business community. The once infamous “marriage capital” has developed into a thriving economic arena for service and retail industries, several large manufacturers, and Union Hospital. Office buildings, courthouses, the hospital, and retail establishments share space with history in Elkton, which has been the County seat since 1787. Elkton is proud to represent Cecil County with Maryland Main Street and Arts and Entertainment District designations. Continued on next page

Rising Sun Rising Sun got its unique name from an old tavern located in the center of town in the 1700s that had a sign with a picture of a sunrise. Since this was a popular watering hole located at a point where five wagon trails all came together, many travelers and frontiersman were known to say, “We’ll meet at the Rising Sun,” and so the name of the town was established. A little known fact, its beautiful rolling hills and landscape were originally part of the Nottingham Lots of Pennsylvania, and were part of a land dispute between William Penn of Pennsylvania and the Proprietary Governor of Maryland, Charles Calvert, 5th Baron of Baltimore. This border conflict waged for years and was actually known as Cresap’s War. When the Mason-Dixon Line was established and a new boundary line between Maryland and Pennsylvania was created, Rising Sun was officially made part of Cecil County, Maryland. Limestone benchmarks can be found in the area marking the Mason-Dixon Line.

SPOTLIGHT ODEC moves into the future with Wildcat Point Generation Facility Electric cooperatives are consumer-owned membership corporations originally formed in the 1930s and 1940s to provide electric service to rural sections of the country. Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) was incorporated in 1948 as a not-for-profit power supply (generation and transmission) cooperative to supply the power its member distribution cooperatives require to serve their customers. ODEC provides reliable, cost-effective, environmentally balanced, wholesale electric services to 11 member distribution cooperatives in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. The 11 members serve more than 550,000 retail electric consumers, representing about 1.2 million people in the Mid-Atlantic region. Cooperatives include Choptank Electric with 52,000 consumers in Maryland, including 3,000 in Eastern Cecil County. ODEC has been proud to serve in Cecil County since 2003, developing deep ties within the community. On Oct. 14, 2014, the groundbreaking for Wildcat Point was held, and construction began on the natural gas combined cycle generation facility. Wildcat Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anticipated plant capacity output is 940 megawatts, making it one of the most efficient generation facilities in our region, based on its ability to not only produce electricity with its natural gas turbines, but to capture the steam from that process and generate more electricity using the heat recovery steam generators. Commercial operations are expected to begin on June 1, 2017. Construction of the plant has created a peak force of nearly 800 construction jobs, and operation of the plant has created 30 full-time jobs. Economists estimate it will create a $33.5 million positive annual economic impact in the county. To learn more about Old Dominion Electric Cooperative visit www.odec.com.

HISTORY By Land and By Sea Cecil County is steeped in American history, and has many historic sites and districts, churches and museums. American Indians were the earliest inhabitants. “White men” arrived by ship in the early 1600s as part of an expedition led by one of Cecil’s most famous visitors - Captain John Smith. He and his men explored the rivers and met the native American residents living along their shorelines. Because of Cecil’s strategic location at the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay, it became a bustling transportation route during the colonial era. Wares and travelers, including famous founding fathers, arrived at and departed from its ports, and traveled by horse drawn wagons along the county’s dusty roads. In the early 19th century, less than one year after President James Madison persuaded Congress to embark on a second war with England, the British blockaded the Chesapeake Bay and sailed up the Elk River. It was April of 1813. They traveled the Elk, North East, and Sassafras Rivers and burned waterfront houses and buildings of commerce at Frenchtown, Fredericktown, and Principio Furnace. Due to the action and bravery of local citizens, the British were unable to reach the county seat of Elkton, thus could not burn the town. They considered setting their sights on Port Deposit along the Susquehanna River, but reconsidered. During the Civil War, Cecil became a border county in a border state, with some citizens supporting the Union, and others the Confederacy. No battles took place in this part of Maryland, but there were notable people and happenings. What is now the Town of Perryville became a staging area for Union troops and supplies as well as the site of a “Mule School” which readied the animals for troop transport and war. Snow’s Battery was one of the county’s notable Civil War units from Port Deposit, which battled alongside Union forces at Antietam. Many Cecil County men left their homes and families to fight on both sides, with and against family and neighbors.

A drive through Cecil County today will take visitors past exquisite manor homes, 18th century churches, and covered bridges. Roadside historic markers tout the area’s history including inns, taverns, and plantations where folks like Lafayette and Washington hung their hats. Travelers can visit the C&D Canal Museum, or Mount Harmon - a tobacco plantation south of Cecilton. They can tour Upper Bay Museum, or Sinking Springs Herb Farm where a sycamore tree that sprouted in the 1500s spreads its shade over an 18th Century log farmhouse.

Rodgers Tavern stands on the east bank of the Susquehanna River in Perryville. The tavern is a monument to our country’s early history and a reminder of a past way of life in Cecil County. Built in the early eighteenth century, the tavern was known first as the Ferry House or Stevenson’s Tavern and was located next to a ferry established in 1695. The Rodgers family was actively involved in supporting the American cause during the Revolutionary War. In 1775, John Rodgers raised and commanded a company of militia for the defense of Maryland. Because of the Tavern’s strategic location on the main thoroughfare, and the owner’s patriotic tendencies, it was a favorite stopping place for such Revolutionary figures as George Washington, Lafayette, and Rochambeau. Other distinguished visitors included Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Just one year after John Rodgers bought the tavern, in 1781, Washington brought officers and troops through the Lower Ferry Crossing on his way to his victorious campaign against Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia.

The Tome School for Boys, originally located on Main Street in Port Deposit, Maryland was founded by Jacob Tome as a nonsectarian college preparatory school for boys. It opened for boarders and received its first students in 1894. It was part of a system of schools that began with kindergarten and extended through high school that was collectively known as the Jacob Tome Institute. The Tome School is significant in military history as the location of the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) from 1943 to 1974, excepting the years 1949 to 1951. The NAPS, the third oldest school in the U.S. Navy after the Naval Academy and the Naval War College, prepares enlisted candidates in the Navy and Marine Corps for admission to the Naval Academy. The NAPS was located in the Tome School buildings for a total of 29 years covering a period of three major wars, during which the school played a continuing role in providing naval leadership for those conflicts.

The initial farm was completed in 2009, and employed about 100 people to produce about 13 million pounds of mushrooms each year. A third building, when completed, will push production to more than 47 million pounds each year, and will bring employee rolls to more than 300. In the near future, Warwick Mushroom Farms will be the largest mushroom producer in one location in both North and South America. The farm grows exclusively for Phillips Mushroom Farms, which in turn distributes to customers throughout the United States. Warwick Mushroom Farms is totally computer controlled. It is the most technologically advanced farm in the Western Hemisphere. Harvesting goes on around the clock, and there are two shifts operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

I LOVE CECIL A Countywide Community Pride Campaign“ The simple-but-powerful three-word message and graphic are intended to promote and celebrate all that Cecil County has to offer.

The concept for the “I Cecil” County-wide community pride campaign was initiated by the Chamber as a way of promoting the very best that Cecil County has to offer. Within just a few months of production, the “I Cecil” logo has been embraced by Cecil County-based community organizations, government agencies and businesses. “When a community has a good attitude about itself, it becomes contagious,” said Bonnie Grady, Chamber President/CEO. “This is a call to action, to engage local groups, agencies and businesses throughout the County who wish to incorporate the ‘I Cecil’ message in their everyday activities.” If your business or organization is interested in making the “I Cecil” logo part of your identity, send an e-mail to info@cecilchamber.com for more information.
