Call Center for MD Taxpayers Opens in Salisbury

Don Rush

If you have questions about your Maryland state taxes you’ll be able to get some help from a new call center located on the Eastern Shore.

Yesterday Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot along with other officials held a ribbon cutting ceremony.

He said, “I am very excited to open this call center. It’s the very first one. And we’re doing it on the Shore. Because we care about the Shore. It’s a region that the state of Maryland is lucky to have.”

The center will create some 25 jobs and is located in Salisbury University’s Sea Gull Square complex.

Also in attendance was University President Janet Dudley-Eshbach who said, “This is a big deal for Salisbury. Is it not? Twenty-five new jobs. And also, that our region is serving the entire state of Maryland. It’s a big deal for us.”

Other officials on hand included Salisbury Mayor Jake Day.
