Governor Wes Moore has recommended local attorney Liz George to the Maryland Senate for appointment to the Maryland Economic Development Commission. The process began in the spring of 2023, where Liz testified in front of the Senate Nominations Committee who then voted and approved. After approval, her name was sent to the Senate for a full vote, which was approved there, as well.
The mission of the Maryland Economic Development Commission is to establish economic development policy in the State and to oversee the Maryland Department of Commerce's efforts to support the creation, attraction and retention of businesses and jobs. Founded in 1995, the 25 voting member Commission draws upon the expertise of the State's business leaders to inform State economic development efforts by providing a comprehensive evaluation of the State's business climate and recommending to the Governor the policies, programs and spending priorities needed.
Liz George said, “This is a wonderful opportunity for me to represent Garrett County, its business community and constituents. It is an honor to be recommended to serve the State of Maryland in this capacity, and I am thankful to Governor Moore for the recommendation.”
Liz George has been a staple in the local community, serving on the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and other local groups and committees. Liz is also the attorney at Deep Creek Title Group, a local title company affiliated with Railey Realty.
