Governor-elect Larry Hogan visits Costco distribution facility in Frederick County


MONROVIA, MD – Governor-elect Hogan today visited a Costco wholesale regional distribution center in Frederick County for a meeting with national and local Costco managers and a couple-hundred employees on improving the business climate in Maryland.

John Thelan, senior vice president of depot operations for the Costco Wholesale Corporation, gave the Governor-elect a presentation and a tour of the distribution facility. In his presentation, Mr. Thelan spoke about Frederick’s many advantages, including a central location to both the East Coast and Midwest for distribution of goods, and access to a skilled workforce.

Costco Wholesale wants to build a 593,400-square-foot warehouse in Monrovia, which would join the existing distribution center Governor-elect Hogan visited today. The proposed building would serve as an e-commerce hub and location for returning merchandise to vendors, and is expected to create new jobs and bring business to the region.

“We’re happy to be in Frederick, where Costco has become a staple of our local economy,” said Governor-elect Hogan. “It was a pleasure to meet the dedicated employees at the Costco distribution center, and it is my hope that in a Hogan-Rutherford administration, we can help other companies grow and prosper in Maryland.”

Gov. Hogan has done more in the last 30 days than O'Malley did during his 6 years.

Thank you to all people that voted against that Idiot Brown... we would have had the Prez's son and his "community organizing".

Maryland will come out of the basement on Economic Growth and be a Top 20 State.

Thank You Governor Elect Hogan !!!
