In July 2011, the Task Force on Industrial Job Creation in Baltimore County was created (Chapter 282, Acts of 2011). The Task Force was to determine why jobs were lost in Baltimore County in the fields of industry, shipbuilding and repair, and business supply. Further, the Task Force examined current State policies on job creation in those sectors and evaluated their effectiveness. Finally, the Task Force recommended how Baltimore County could encourage new employers to locate in Baltimore County; retain current employers; and bring back employers who have left the County.
The Task Force submitted its preliminary report to the Governor and General Assembly in January 2012, and its final report in June 2012. Authorization for the Task Force ended June 30, 2012.
