The Center was created on 1994 as a unit of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Maryland and is located in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics.

The Center's location near Annapolis, MD, and Washington, D.C., provides opportunities to work with state and federal officials on public policy issues. The excellent and diverse faculty of the University enhances the opportunities.

The Center creates publications, conferences and workshops that focus on economic issues in public policy. Opportunities are provided for visitors
