Business and Community Directory- Brunswick has many businesses to serve your needs so why spend time and gas running out of town? Every year this guide is updated and distributed in partnership with the Greater Brunswick Area Chamber of Commerce.
Ribbon Cutting- If you open a new business we will arrive with ribbon and camera in hand to help you celebrate! We send the photos to the newspapers for you and can even write the press release.
Frederick County Business Appreciation Week- The Frederick County Office of Economic Development is hosting its 11th Annual Business Appreciation Week. We want to hear about your business, thank you for being here, identify any concerns or potential issues you might have and this year's event has a marketing twist--we also want to help market how fantastic your company is!
A small group of local ambassadors will make short visits lasting about 30-45 minutes to companies like yours all week long. Once Business Appreciation Week is over, the Office of Economic Development promotes your company using multiple media outlets and you're invited to attend our Annual Business Reception in November, the biggest Frederick County business networking event of the year.
