Carroll County officials turned out Friday to welcome the county’s latest entry in the high-tech government contracting arena, with the official ribbon cutting of the new corporate headquarters of Applied Technology Group in Eldersburg.
Applied Technology Group, a software development company supporting the intelligence and defense industries, is poised for growth and is on track to expand from its current 45 employees, to about 75 by the end of the year, according to CEO James Rainey, an Eldersburg resident. Many of the company’s employees work at the locations of its government clients, he said, but as the company looks to grow, he wants to root that growth in the county he calls home.
“Myself and my business partner live here. We wanted to engage the community that we live in,” Rainey said. “If you also look at the tech sector, the customer base in this area, it’s almost a triangle that’s out there. There’s Fort Meade down south, if you go east you have the Social Security Administration and Health and Human Services, and if you go west, you have Fort Detrick out there. It sort of puts us in this centralized hub.” For the full article click here
