Currentness
To support manufacturing in Maryland, it is the policy of the State to follow these seven principles:
(1) the State must make a long-term institutional commitment to improving the competitiveness of existing and emerging manufacturers;
(2) the State's support for manufacturing must be industry-driven, with governmental and educational efforts focused on priorities set by businesses;
(3) to have a noticeable impact on the State and regional economies, the State's efforts to support manufacturing must be organized in ways that address the level of need;
(4) the State's support of manufacturing must be held accountable to measurable outcomes that result from the State's business assistance activities;
(5) to be competitive, all manufacturers must deploy the latest advances in technology;
(6) to develop a competitive manufacturing base, the State should target its limited resources to those key manufacturing industries that have a strong presence or healthy growth prospects; and
(7) the State's business assistance services for existing and emerging manufacturers must be:
(i) comprehensive, ranging across marketing, technology, financing, job training, and other needs of manufacturing; and
(ii) readily available across all regions of the State.
