- Betting the House: How Maryland Landed a D.C. Kitchen and $100 Million in Rocket FuelA D.C. restaurant chain packs up its ovens and its whole headquarters for Prince George's County, and Northrop Grumman puts $100 million of its own money on top of years of state seed funding at a Cecil County site. Two very different companies, same decision: go all in on Maryland.
