School crowding slows development in Howard County, Md.

June 4, 2010
Growth is delayed until more classroom space is available

From The Baltimore Sun: Crowded classrooms in the Howard County (Md.) district will delay new development in Ellicott City and Elkridge, based on the latest school enrollment projections used to regulate county growth. The projected crowding will trigger delays in planning for new homes in the redeveloping U.S. 1 corridor until two new schools and an addition are built. A new 600-seat elementary school and a 97-seat addition at Bellows Spring Elementary are to open in the northeast region by 2013; a new middle school is to be built by 2015.
