Farming is at the heart of our people, and the hundreds of locally owned small businesses, farms and agricultural contributors drive the growth of our region.

Adams County is an ideal location to start a small business because of our affordable utility rates, accessible residential and commercial real estate, and lower than average cost of living. Area small businesses enjoy a robust transportation infrastructure that keeps supply routes moving smoothly, and provides convenient access to nearby metropolitan markets.

In an effort to support small businesses and help our communities grow, Adams County Development Council works closely with local businesses to source qualified talent and locate the financial support needed to launch or expand.
