Serving as a Catalyst Since 1967 to Make the Salisbury Area Better and Stronger

Welcome to The Greater Salisbury Committee

The mission of the Greater Salisbury Committee is to serve as a catalyst to improve the community. Since 1967, GSC has been actively seeking sustainable solutions to the challenges that face the Greater Salisbury area. We exist at the intersection where community, people, ideas, and resources come together.


Current Initiatives

A Conversation With….

GSC has held open forums called “A Conversation With..” for prominent individuals such as Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and Comptroller Peter Franchot and our Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen.  They were so widely received that our next Conversation With will be the Perdue Family as they celebrate their 100th anniversary.  Look for details in 2020.

Transformational Community Leadership Series – TCL

Transformational Community Leadership Series

TCL was launched by GSC in April, 2017.  TCL is a leadership series developed in collaboration with Salisbury University’s Center for Extended and Lifelong Learning.  The goal of TCL is to take future leaders and “drill them down” – if you will – on the industries, institutions, and entities that are the backbone of our community.

Offshore Wind

GSC is playing a strong regional role in advancing the Offshore Wind industry, working closely with the two entities who are bringing Offshore Wind energy to Maryland: Orsted and US Wind. We believe our region can be a key player in the Operations and Maintenance supply chain that will be needed over the next 20 years as Offshore Wind comes to the area. Orsted and US Wind will bring the largest wind turbines in the world off the coast of Ocean City in the next five years.
