Скачать или смотреть Howard county demolishes historic buildings in Ellicott City as a part of flood mitigation plans

Main Street in Ellicott City is well-known for its local businesses.

But it is also known for having devastating floods—floods that forced businesses to shut down or relocate.

One man I spoke with told me he remembers just how bad the floods were in 2016 and most recently in 2018.

“Some things we saw is poor tally’s. He had just done all the reservations on the upstairs deck and everything, and it was a really great job he had done, and then it was just months after that that the flood came through and just destroyed it all for him," says Greg, who lives in Ellicott City.

The memory and devastation of those floods are why County Executive Calvin Ball says he made it his mission to create a plan to prevent the same damage from future flooding.
