Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

The Maryland Agricultural and Resource-Based Industry Development Corporation, MARBIDCO, is committed to providing a website that is accessible and usable for everyone, including people with disabilities.

MARBIDCO is actively reviewing and improving its website, documents, forms, and digital services to support an accessible and user-friendly experience. Our accessibility efforts are guided by applicable requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Maryland’s nonvisual access requirements, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As MARBIDCO adds and updates website content, we will continue to identify accessibility barriers, implement improvements, and incorporate accessible practices into our digital communications.

Website Accessibility

MARBIDCO works to support access to its website for people who use assistive technologies and different methods of navigating or interacting with digital content.

Our accessibility efforts include:

  • Providing meaningful alternative text for images
  • Using headings and page structures that support navigation
  • Supporting keyboard access to website content and controls
  • Maintaining sufficient color contrast and readable text
  • Providing descriptive link text
  • Improving the accessibility of online forms
  • Reviewing documents for accessibility
  • Supporting responsive layouts across devices and screen sizes

Some older or archived materials may not fully meet current accessibility standards. MARBIDCO will provide assistance or an accessible alternative upon request.

The MARBIDCO website includes documents in formats such as PDF, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel. Some documents may require a compatible application, browser feature, or document reader.
