Capital Projects Tracker

The capital projects tracker was created to provide the public with up-to-date information about the status of capital projects associated with County Executive Calvin Ball's flood mitigation plan. Each tracker shows the current status of the project, as well as an estimated completion year.

​

These timelines are aggressive and count on the cooperation of a variety of stakeholders. Many different factors can cause project delays, including weather, acquisition delays, and issues with permitting. If a project is delayed for any reason, information about that delay will be communicated here. 

​

If you have any questions or concerns about the capital projects tracker, send an email to  ecsafeandsound@howardcountymd.gov.

*PLEASE NOTE: The capital projects tracker can only be viewed on a desktop computer.
