The head of a long-standing company in Maryland recently received a letter. It wasn’t from a vendor or a customer — it was from a neighboring state. The message was direct: “We want your company here.” That company, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, provides technology and engineering services to the Department of Defense and commercial markets. The letter came from West Virginia — one of several states actively recruiting Maryland businesses. The message was unmistakable: leave Maryland for a more business-friendly climate.
