Study On Maryland s Economy May Not Reflect Eastern Shore

47abc April 7, 2021   MARYLAND. – Number 9. That’s what Maryland’s economy ranked as the least hit by the pandemic in a recent WalletHub study. Some tell 47ABC that may be the case those across the bridge,  but not for those on the Eastern shore. “Lets not forget the rural areas of Maryland, which are heavily dependent on small business and agriculture are always the last to recover from these things without that federal money in the DC suburbs, Maryland would not be ranked #9 right now. It just would not be the case,” said Salisbury Chamber Of Commerce Bill Chambers. The Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce says the Eastern Shore got hit hard and they need more government support to recover and attract new business to the area. “It would help if the general assembly would decrease in the corporate tax rate. We have one of the highest tax rates among our competitive states. Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,” said Chambers.

Salisbury sees boost in business; was it the governor s shoutout that did it?

Businesses saw a bump this weekend in Salisbury, where the city’s mass vaccination site became the first in Maryland to offer COVID-19 vaccinations on a walk-in basis. But Bill Chambers, president and CEO of the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce, said it’s hard to know if the increase in traffic and business was tied to the fact that the mass vaccination site in Salisbury started offering vaccinations without an appointment on Friday. “Talking to the people at the civic center,” where the vaccinations are given, he said “the increase in traffic has been noticeable.” Gov. Larry Hogan may have helped by urging people to travel to Wicomico County for the Easter weekend, get vaccinated in Salisbury and then hit Ocean City for some Thrasher’s French Fries.
