Land Sale in Limbo
County Administrator of Housing and Community Development, Leonard Vaughan, announced the county had acquired 7.2 acres of ground on Old Washington Road to build 20 affordable houses.
The Howard County Housing Commission had to vote on officially acquiring the property, but local residents questioned the county’s wisdom in acquiring the site, citing concerns about methane gas buildup and soil contamination.
The Housing Commission did not vote on the acquisition, and Vaughan stated the issue was due to HUD’s requirements concerning advertising, environmental studies, and deadlines.
