Making Montgomery Co. a destination for businesses — and a pledge to cut red tape

Montgomery County Council President Evan Glass says he’s determined to push harder to attract and retain businesses — and on Monday, he announced a “road map” to boost the Maryland county’s economic development. During a news briefing, Glass explained he had moved to split one of the county council committees, making the Economic Development a free-standing panel. Glass said his next steps would include seeking a review of compliance issues to ease regulatory burdens, especially on small and minority businesses.
