SALISBURY, Md. — Salisbury Airport has been awarded $450,000 as part of Maryland’s new Business Ready Sites Program, a state initiative to accelerate economic development and improve business infrastructure. The program was established following an executive order by Governor Wes Moore, aiming to support projects across Maryland by funding site access upgrades, utility improvements, and land preparation. On July 9, Governor Moore announced the first six recipients of Site Improvement Grants. Salisbury Airport’s grant will be used to ready the property for construction of new hangars, capitalizing on its prime location along the Eastern Seaboard and potential to support growth in the aerospace mechanic sector. Additionally, the airport received a separate Site Characterization Grant to develop a business park near the airfield. The program targets economic growth by investing in infrastructure that supports job creation and business expansion throughout the state.
