The meeting commenced with introductions of board directors and staff members. A key agenda item involved the presentation of findings from the most recent county-by-county economic impact study of Maryland's forestry and seafood industries, conducted by the Beacon unit at Salisbury University using 2023 data. The discussion covered total economic impacts, which exceeded $30.2 billion, supported by over 108,000 jobs, and generated nearly $1.1 billion in state tax revenue. Output figures were broken down by industry (Agriculture, Support, Forestry, Seafood), noting significant increases since the 2022 study. Regional outputs and employment impacts were also analyzed, with the Upper Shore of the Eastern Shore showing the largest regional output increase of 100%. Specific discussions addressed challenges in forestry output in Western Maryland and on the Lower Eastern Shore due to mill closures, contrasted with growth in Southern Maryland.
