FROSTBURG, Md., June 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Organizations in Allegany County, Md., Bedford County, Pa., Garrett County, Md., Mineral County, Wv. and Somerset County, Pa. formed the I-68 Regional Alliance to develop a business environment focused on job creation, diversification, expansion, and entrepreneurship.
To attract, retain and create business in the aerospace supply chain, lifestyle manufacturing, and technology industries, the I-68 Regional Alliance highlights current businesses, workforce benefits, and the region's key location.
"As a best-kept-secret along the I-68 corridor, this region holds an abundance of resources that our Alliance strongly backs," said Al Delia, I-68 Alliance Chair. "As we navigate COVID-19, it's an ideal time to highlight the outdoor activities this region has to offer. For many in the tri-state regions, these experiences are within a two and a half-hour drive and are a great way to explore nature while social distancing."
This location is also a robust tourism destination. Known for its outdoor recreation assets, the Alliance is centered between mountains, lakes, and state parks. Between the five counties, there are 18 state parks, two national parks, over 1,200 miles of hiking and biking trails, and 45 public bodies of water.
