Your Chamber is proud to present the 2025 Legislative Agenda.
Chamber Testimony:
2025 Mountain Maryland PACE
Each year this event serves as an important tool in making Maryland’s political leadership aware of the needs and the specific requests of Allegany and Garrett Counties. This effort is vital when it comes time for Senate or House Committee to decide which program to fund or which project to include in the budget. The Reception and Breakfast provide our Delegation with a strong show of local support for issues they are pressing in Annapolis, and the results have been impressive.
2025 Mountain Maryland PACE will be held on January 16th and 17th at the Westin Annapolis in Annapolis, MD.
