Despite ongoing challenges with federal budget cuts, we’ve seen companies small and large continue to expand, new transformative development projects come to life, and a new drug manufacturing facility that is anticipated to create 150 jobs open in Rockville. These projects aren’t just business wins—they’re milestones shaping the future of our community, strengthening our local economy, and showcasing the power of partnerships.

In 2025, we're celebrating:
👏 AstraZeneca's Rockville Facility and continued investment in Montgomery County
👏 Bernstein Management Corporation's move to Bethesda
