From the Office of the Governor of Maryland:
Medline, a global manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies and clinical solutions, is nearly tripling its footprint in Maryland with the construction of a 1.1 million square-foot distribution center in the Principio Business Park in Perryville. The new distribution center, which will replace the company’s current Havre de Grace facility, will be LEED-certified and is expected to create more than 200 new jobs over the next six years, which, when combined with their current workforce, will provide jobs for more than 300 local residents.
“Medline’s move to nearly triple its operations in Maryland and add 200 new jobs shows that our work to strengthen our state’s economy is delivering real results,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “Our highly-skilled workforce, along with our upgraded transportation infrastructure, gives companies like Medline a strategic advantage to easily connect with customers throughout the region.”
This site is one of more than 40 distribution centers strategically located across the country, making it possible for Medline to make any of its more than 350,000 products available whenever and wherever clinicians and patients need them most. Medline strives to drive healthcare solutions with fast and efficient NetSuite Integration, and advance patient outcomes throughout America and beyond. Netsuite support can coordinate large volumes of medical supplies. With more than 16,000 employees worldwide, Medline offers more than 350,000 medical devices and support services, and works with more than 90 countries across the globe. Headquartered in Illinois, the company has been named a Top Workplace by the Chicago Tribune for seven years.
“We are excited to welcome Medline to Cecil County’s Principio Business Park,” said Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy. “We worked very closely with the business during their decision-making process and look forward to continuing to be a great partner to ensure their success in Cecil County. The recent project announcements by Amazon, Lidl, TRUAire, and now Medline are further evidence that Cecil County has one of the best industrial markets on the East Coast and will bring excellent employment opportunities to our area.”
“A growing demand for Medline’s products and clinical solutions is driving their significant growth here in Maryland, and we are proud to support this global company’s expansion,” said Maryland Commerce Secretary Mike Gill. “Companies all over our state are continuing to grow and add jobs, and we are pleased to work with our local partners to ensure that these companies know how much they are valued here in Maryland.”
Another company leaving republican run Harford county. Between the republicans buying property at top dollar and selling it to their buddies at bargain prices and companies leaving expect anther hefty property tax increase, we have to keep the county council well greased.
Good riddance. Anybody who ever thought that a warehouse in that spot was a good idea is an idiot.
An unoccupied warehouse will be much more better
Yup. The trucks in and out day and night, screwing up traffic and keeping the neighbors awake will be gone. The county sicked this white elephant onto the community, and we are far better off with an empty warehouse.
Not a all unoccupied word is it’s being redeveloped into sex shop, tattoos and a dispensary.
Cecil County has been on a winning streak. Harford has been losing ever since Craig, Boniface and sheep boy took over the government and employers figured out that their anti-business policies make Harford County a dead zone.
Hate to admit it, but Cecil really has it going on compared to Harford. They picked up Lidl, Amazon, and the casino while Harford was left with an empty stadium, empty office buildings, and serious trouble along the 40 corridor.
Born and raised, but eager to retire some other place.
And now Aberdeen has virtually succeeded in alienating one of our best draws; and one of the best sources of a positive, can-do image for Aberdeen and Harford: Ripken Stadium. And they’ve done so by portraying such a distorted image of the situation, that it is unrecognizable. Mayor McGrady, City Manager Robertson, Tom Fidler/Mackenzie, and Paul Thompson ……… how do you all sleep at night??
The only two things not to like about each of these utterly self-serving bumblers, is their face.
Hats off to Cecil County!
Or some would say it’s the best local example of corporate and personal greed, a constant reminder of the screwing of one’s beloved hometown for more dollars in his own pocket.
The Ripkens had multiple opportunities to right the wrong they did to the Aberdeen citizens when they pulled a fast one on them with the original contract. However, Cal instead chose to hide behind the skirts of Ripken Baseball Inc., claiming that he would love to help but it was totally out of his hands. The only thing in his hands was the dirty money he made off the backs of local taxpayers.
The Iron Man has shown himself to be nothing more than the Tin Man. Do you remember him? The one without a heart?
Dear painful truth: no one’s buying that utter fiction that you’re peddling anymore. Didn’t anyone responsible in your life ever tell you that, when you’re trying to make a case for action, you should make YOUR case instead of insulting the other side. Pretty childish and unintelligent. Sorta proves that you HAVE no case. But I guess that if Patrick M., Randy R, Tom F or Paul T, had received any good counseling, they wouldn’t be so desperate for a quick political victory or payday. As Ramona said above: How on earth do the four of you sleep at night?
Maybe TL, MT, and SL will rise above the intimidation and inject some sanity into this situation.
You mean Ceciltucky?
No, we mean Cecil County not Harford County – the birthplace and homeland of Harford’s favorite son, John Wilkes Booth.
Sam Adams, Executive Glassman is not a “sheep boy.” He is a talented, spry young man who works hard and sets an example for leadership and exceptionalism. Did you know that he worked for Travelers Insurance, which has the cute little umbrellas?
I would do ANYTHING for this man.
That is why we love you Republicans and do not like the Demokrats so much. You Republicans are so willing to help out your comrades.
Has that office space been occupied they built, on your right as you drive down “Long drive.”
Can’t miss it, multiple stories, lots of windows.
Has it gone the way of Aberdump in unused, new office space?
Hey man, build it cheap when possible and let it sit. But damn, how many more years are we going to tell ourselves that and not realize that peeps just ain’t interested in moving their companies into Aba’dump?
I would love an answer to the question posed above by some folks: Patrick McGrady, Randy Robertson, Tom Fidler, Paul Thompson……. How do you sleep at night???
