Growing Opportunity. Small-Town Community.

Rising Sun is a growing community with a strong small-business base, a revitalizing downtown, and new opportunities for investment and development. Located in Cecil County with convenient access to major regional markets, Rising Sun offers businesses the advantages of a small-town community while remaining connected to the larger Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Wilmington regions.

The Town is committed to supporting responsible growth, encouraging private investment, strengthening our Main Street business district, and working directly with businesses and developers interested in becoming part of Rising Sun’s future.
