Nestled between several larger states on the U.S. east coast, Maryland is at once one of the smallest states in America and one of the most densely populated. Historically, Maryland is also especially significant because the state donated the land where Washington, D.C. would be founded. Maryland has a high median income and the state has a diverse economy, including manufacturing, aerospace and defense, and biotechnology. In this research paper we will review some of the state-level resources that are available for businesses based in Maryland.
