Within the next year the county will begin construction on the Quaker Mill mitigation pond, design the Maryland Avenue culverts, acquire West End properties, finish design of the Emory and Church Street drainage improvements, put out an RFP for the North Tunnel, and more.

The current estimates for cost, spread over 5 years and including building demolitions, run between $113.5 and $140.5 million. Individual projects in the plan are already underway with the goal of completing the entire plan in 5 years. Once the county acquires these buildings, they will begin the Section 106 process with the goal of salvaging as much of the buildings’ historic character as possible. Those buildings are Phoenix Emporium, Discoveries, Bean Hollow, and Great Panes Art Glass Studio. Ball’s plan will leave less than a foot of water on Main Street in the same scenario, and only calls for four buildings to be demolished. The previous administration’s plan left 4.5 feet of water on Main Street during a 100-year level storm and called for 10 buildings to demolished.

We don’t run from our problems and we don’t leave our neighbors behind,” said Ball. With this bold plan, we are making a statement: This is how we do things in Howard County. “As we approach the one-year anniversary of the 2018 flood, it is time to come together as a united Howard County. Last May, severe flash flooding resulted in one death and an estimated $20 million in damages. The first flood in 2016 resulted in two deaths and caused roughly $10 million in damages. Howard County Executive Calvin Ball said Monday his administration has finalized the purchase of all 10 properties on lower Main Street in Ellicott City as part of a plan to protect the flood. The plan comes in the wake of two devastating floods that ravaged downtown Ellicott City. The plan includes a range of key projects, including a North Tunnel, that will decrease flood depths and ensure public safety. Last month, Ball presented the five best options to address flooding and solicited public comment from residents, both online and at a community meeting.Īfter careful consideration, County Executive Ball chose Option 3G.7.0.
