MITP works with other state and local agencies to provide a seamless process for the recruitment, assessment and placement of new employees with participating companies. The program works through local business expansion teams to assure that qualified workers are made available to new or expanding businesses.

Through DBED, companies participating in MITP also receive state and local assistance with site selection, financing, loan packages, licensing and permitting, infrastructure issues, technology needs and other concerns specific to business expansion   or relocation. The level of funding provided to a company through the program is based on a combination of factors, including:

• Number of permanent, full-time positions created and/or retained
• Level of wages/salaries
• Benefit packages
• Proposed location and rate of unemployment in the area
• Strategic significance of the expansion or relocation to the Maryland economy
• Utilization of other State and local resources  

Administered by the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development (DBED). Contact your regional DBED office for more information:
