Start-Up Savvy
Start-ups take off in Garrett County—just ask the innovators at GCC Technologies, LLC. Providing essential technical and business support to federal agencies, GCC was poised for success from the start. Relocating their business to the Garrett Information Enterprise Center (GIEC), which nurtures early stage companies, GCC took advantage of the HUB Zone designation and resources available at the business incubator, and revenues took off at a 4G pace.
This one-time start-up now employs 200 skilled professionals—100 of whom were recruited from the local community. Since relocating to Garrett County in 2006, GCC has benefitted from tech-driven workforce training programs, business coaching services, and broadband development initiatives.
High-tech startups thrive in business environments with high rewards. Contact (301)334-1921 or economicdevelopment@garrettcounty.org to learn more.
