Harford County Opens Tourism Desk off Interstate 95
Visit Harford! will be up and running by mid-summer, county officials said.
A new initiative aims to turn motorists passing through Harford County into visitors. Harford County officials announced the launch of the "Visit Harford!" desk Thursday at the Maryland House travel plaza off Interstate 95.
To county officials, the 200,000 monthly visitors to Maryland House—situated near Aberdeen—was an opportunity to generate interest in the community and its attractions.
An area of the Maryland House was set aside for a possible tourism center when it reopened in January after renovations.
With volunteers staffing the center and information available about local businesses, the goal is to connect visitors with area attractions.
