Grow Rural Opportunity in Maryland (GRO MD), a two-year Build to Scale (B2S) Venture Challenge award funded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration aims to research and develop the case for a tri-county partnership that will unite three, rural Northern Maryland counties - Carroll, Frederick, and Harford - all of which share significant similarities in business, government and population attributes -- for the purpose of building a stronger, more efficient and inclusive economic future within the counties and in the region. MAGIC is working in partnership with subrecipients Frederick Innovative Technology Center, Inc. (FITCI) and the Harford County Office of Economic Development (HCOED).
The Westminster Autonomous Robotics Innovation Center, ARIC, offers various autonomous and robotics projects and hands on educational opportunities.
