In the center of the corridor  This dynamic area is at the epicenter of the Baltimore/Washington corridor. It is one of the fastest growing commercial centers in the United States. With an extensive federal government presence, the corridor has a unique degree of economic stability.
By choosing the BWI area, businesses benefit from highly skilled and well-educated workers, proximity to major research universities and community colleges, excellent transportation resources, and a rich array of cultural and recreational resources. The BWI Business District, the area closest to thriving BWI Airport, is a true crossroads of transportation routes – offering an airport, rail connections, interstate and local highway access and a major port. Interstates 95 and 97 and the Baltimore/Washington Parkway are key north-south highway links. Rail services -- Amtrak, MARC commuter trains and light rail--serve the district and the corridor, linking the cities of Washington and Baltimore. These rail links provide business, visitors, and residents alike links through the corridor and beyond to the Northeast and the Eastern seaboard. Just 10 miles north of the Business District is the Port of Baltimore, with major shipping lines and cruise terminals. One of the most major highway enhancements planned for Maryland in decades, the Intercounty Connector, will link the Airport vicinity to technology and worker-rich Montgomery County and the I-270 corridor, further enhancing business opportunity. Over 30 hotels are clustered near the airport serve business travelers, conventioneers, those assigned to Ft. Meade on temporary duty, and a growing number of visitors.
