Howard County’s Department of Recreation & Parks invites the public to a Public Meeting on July 31, 2025 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at The Training Room at the Bureau of Utilities (8250/8270 Old Montgomery Road, Columbia, MD 21045). There will be a presentation on the concept for the garden plots at the property that sits just north of Route 100 overpass on Old Montgomery RD on the East side of the road.
