Situated conveniently in the Mid-Atlantic region, Worcester County has the cost advantages of a southeastern community with the market access of a northeastern location; it is readily accessible by road, air or train to the burgeoning Philadelphia-Norfolk corridor.

More than 30% of the nation's population and 36% of its manufacturing establishments can be reached overnight by truck or train. Scheduled air passenger and freight service is available from the Salisbury-Ocean City Regional Airport, a one-half hour drive from all points in the county.

The county provides the best of urban and rural living--close enough to the cultural riches of Norfolk, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, DC, yet far enough away to avoid traffic congestion, dangerous crime and high-cost housing. From the hustle and bustle of a major resort to the quaint, historic towns--from the majestic forests to the scenic river, the county offers something for everyone.
