Dixon Valve & Coupling Co, a leading innovator in the hose coupling industry, is investing USD$20 million to expand operations and construct a 150,000 square-foot warehouse distribution center in Chestertown, Maryland.
To assist with the expansion, the Maryland Department of Commerce has approved a USD$1 million conditional loan, the Kent County Commissioners are providing a USD$100,000 match and the Town of Chestertown annexed the expansion property and assisted with obtaining the needed permits.
“The town is excited about this expansion. It’s creating opportunities for new businesses to locate here and for current businesses to follow Dixon’s lead and expand. This kind of public-private partnership makes an outsized impact in a community our size,” said Chris Cerino, Chestertown Mayor.
