Investigators charge 15-year-old with first-degree murder

Howard County Executive Calvin Ball today cut the ribbon on the largest Ellicott City public works project constructed to date designed to prevent stormwater from reaching Historic Ellicott City during major weather events. The H-7 pond, constructed on state land in a clover-leaf interchange at the intersection of Route 29 and Route 40/Baltimore National Pike in Ellicott City, can hold enough runoff to cover a football field to the height of 10 feet.

A Howard County construction project to repair and improve a stormwater management pond adjacent to 8825 Cardinal Forest Circle in Laurel, is expected to begin on or about Tuesday, November 1st. While the project is not expected to impact traffic flow, a temporary lane closure along Cardinal Forest Circle in the vicinity of the project may be required during material deliveries. Additionally, a portion of the sidewalk adjacent to the work site between 8833 and 8825 Cardinal Forest Circle will be closed to pedestrians for the duration of the project. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late February 2023.
