Allegany County hopes to bring defense jobs to the Cumberland
Allegany County hopes to bring defense jobs to business parks in the Cumberland and Frostburg areas, a county official said Friday. Economic Development Director Matt Diaz said the Barton Business Park, about eight miles south of Cumberland along U.S. 220, would make a good location for businesses supporting the Allegheny Ballistics Laboratory, a federal weapons lab in nearby Rocket Center, W.Va., operated by Alliant Techsystems Inc.
