Serving Easton, MD
Easton is the Talbot County seat on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, between the Tred Avon and Choptank Rivers, where US 50 — Ocean Gateway — runs past town and Route 322, the Easton Parkway, carries the bypass, with Routes 33, 331, 333 and 328 reaching St. Michaels, Oxford and the Caroline County line; no interstate serves the county. Measurement-dependent operations here include Aphena Pharma Solutions on Industrial Park Road, a 184,000-square-foot contract pharmaceutical liquids and topicals plant that is FDA registered under 21 CFR Parts 210, 211 and 820, DEA licensed, cGMP compliant and certified to ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015; UM Shore Medical Center at Easton on South Washington Street, a 146-bed hospital with diagnostic imaging and clinical laboratory services; Easton Airport, the county-owned Newnam Field with 5,500-foot and 4,000-foot runways, a control tower and on-field avionics and aircraft maintenance shops; and the Easton Utilities Commission on North Washington Street, which runs electric, gas, water and wastewater service with eighteen generators totaling 69 megawatts and an enhanced nutrient removal treatment facility. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
