Allegany and Garrett counties have partnered to launch a marketing campaign to help in attracting lifestyle manufacturing companies to Western Maryland. The regional business and workforce attraction initiative, announced in a joint press release this week, is titled “Make it. In the Mountains.” The effort includes a newly created website, MakeItInTheMountains.com. Officials in the tourism departments of both counties have been pursuing plans that would capitalize on the outdoor features in Western Maryland, which include mountain vistas, numerous trails, state parks, lakes and rivers offering year-round outdoor activities.
