The project is led by construction company Manekin LLC, in conjunction with Alex Brown Realty, Inc.

“We are extremely pleased to expand our local presence by making a substantial investment in Maryland, adding to our more than 9,000 employees worldwide.”

The new facility will accommodate ManTech’s growing Maryland workforce.

Honorable C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, U.S. House of Representatives, Maryland’s 2nd District, said, “Jobs are the gasoline that powers our nation’s economy. When you have a job, you can support your family and your community. Jobs are tough to come by in this challenging economy.

ManTech is tapping into this great resource.”
