An Urgent Message to Manufacturers from Heather Gramm, Senior Director, Strategic Industries & Entrepreneurship, Maryland Department of Commerce.

The Maryland Department of Commerce is currently accepting applications for the Maryland COVID-19 Emergency Relief Manufacturing Fund. This $5 million incentive program helps Maryland manufacturers to produce personal protective equipment and other items identified as Critical Needs Items by MEMA and DGS, that are urgently needed by the State of Maryland, Maryland-based hospitals and healthcare facilities, and emergency and first responders.

Grants of up to $100,000 will be made available to Maryland-based manufacturers to 1) increase existing capacity to produce these critical need items or 2) quickly pivot operations to produce these critical need items.

More information and a link to the application can be found at
