Rooted in Our Community is a popular Saturday ticket

ELKTON — Maureen O’Shea is excited about the first Cecil County Agriculture “Rooted in Our Community” event happening virtually this Saturday starting at 9 a.m. “We have 75 people registered, which I am very pleased with being as this is a virtual event on a Saturday,” O’Shea, Cecil County Agriculture Coordinator, said Tuesday.

New economic development director eyes bright future

ELKTON — A lifelong Harford County resident recently took the plunge and decided to see how life works on the other side of the river, as Cecil County Economic Development Director Steven Overbay assumed his new role back in December. Now several weeks into the job, Overbay said he can’t be more appreciative for the opportunity to help shape the future of Cecil County. Overbay is no stranger to the economic development field, having most recently served as deputy director of community and economic development in Harford County. During his time working with Harford County economic development he noted his role was as a “friendly competitor” to Cecil County, but added that his former role made it very important for him to know what was going on in Cecil County. This knowledge made it very helpful in assuming his current position as director in Cecil County.
