CCWD Temporarily Adjusts Services Beginning April 1st

Westminster, MD, March 28, 2024 – The Carroll County Workforce Center, located at 224 N. Center Street in Westminster, will temporarily move some of its operations to a different location in Westminster beginning Monday, April 1, 2024. The multi-service center building will undergo a multiphase HVAC renovation that is expected to last until early fall.
