ELLICOTT CITY, MD – Howard County's Department of Public Works will hold a virtual public meeting March 2 at 6 p.m. to discuss plans for an Ellicott City pond improvement project designed to improve a stormwater pond along Montgomery Run Road behind 8495 Falls Run Rd.

The informal meeting will include an overview of the design followed by an open discussion. County staff and the project's design consultant will be on hand to answer any questions and gather public comments. To participate in the meeting by computer, go to www.webex.com and click "join."
