Why is Frederick County a great place to do business?

Frederick County is Maryland’s largest county by land area and is strategically located between Washington DC and Baltimore.  The County has a competitive tax structure for businesses and a large, diverse population from which to draw customers and employees. It is a great place to live, work and play!

Describe a significant event in your company’s history.

The most significant event in Tuscarora’s history was the ribbon cutting for our new facility in September, 1975, after several years of operation as a 2-court “bubble”.  The opening was the fulfillment of a dream for our founders, Joyce and Aubrey Dixon.


Frederick County is very fortunate to have an amazing business community, especially those that have been in business for over 20 years.  We understand that there are more than 100 legacy businesses in Frederick County, but unfortunately, we were not able to include all these businesses in the Top 50x2.  The businesses included were selected from responses submitted to a business survey.  OED staff verified the responses and then selected the businesses on a first come first serve basis.  If your business would like to be included in future opportunities, please email info@discoverfrederickmd.com.

Some photographs included in the publication were taken pre-COVID.  OED encourages everyone to follow precautionary guidelines set forth by the Frederick County Health Department.
