		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County had some good economic development news this week, for a change, with the formal announcement of 700 jobs with online retailer Amazon coming to a mega-warehouse near Perryville. But enthusiasm should be tempered with a dose of economic reality on the shortcomings of the local workforce and the paucity of better-paying tech jobs that could expand the local economy and taxbase. While Amazon will bring warehouse operations, employing forklift operators and order-pullers to its “fulfillment center” at a new 10-year leased facility at the Principio business park off Route 40, the quality of the local county workforce and job creation expectations do not bode well for the future in Cecil County, where a new study of workforce skills and expected job opportunities projects that the highest number of new jobs through 2022 in the area will be for low-paid store cashiers. At the same time, a high-value new employer in the county that has built a permanent, owned and operated facility had a positive workforce view—because it recruited computer and technology-savvy workers from other areas.

		<description><![CDATA[Gov. Hogan’s ‘Green Bag’ Appointments Bypass Cecil on Key Posts New Maryland Governor Larry Hogan recently announced hundreds of appointments to various state boards and commissions as part of the annual “Green Bag” list of appointees sent to the General Assembly—but Cecil County came up short in any but the most local and required slots. The Green Bag names, so-called in historic tradition for the green velvet bag in which the list is sent to the General Assembly, include purely local appointments to various panels that come under state jurisdiction as well as more significant statewide policy posts that require Senate confirmation. For Cecil County, there was only one statewide appointment: Steven C. Parker, named to the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Byways Critical Area Commission.
