Worcester County Tourism and Economic Development held a ribbon cutting at their new facility on West Green Street in Snow Hill.

On March 2, 2023 over 70 community friends gathered to cut the ribbon and open the doors to the new Worcester County Tourism and Economic Development (WCTED) Office and Visitors Center at 107 West Green Street in Snow Hill.

“I’m truly thankful to the town for welcoming us with open arms,” WCTED Director Melanie Pursel said. “After rebranding and combining tourism and economic development, we felt it was paramount for our five-person team be able to collaborate more closely, have ample storage and meeting space, and be centrally located in downtown Snow Hill.”

Event hosts included Snow Hill Chamber of Commerce Director Carrie Phillips, County Commissioners Caryn Abbott, Diana Purnell, and Eric Fiori, as well as Pursel who highlighted WCTED resources and promotions.

“Thanks to Davis Strategic Development, the new WCTED is so much more than just an office,” Pursel said. “It’s a welcoming visitor center, complete with a kitchen and public conference room.”

Residents and visitors alike are invited to stop in and meet the team, tour the facility, and visit frequently to learn more about exciting places to tour and to discover upcoming events on Maryland’s Coast – Worcester County.
