The appeal that brings million-dollar performances and therefore hundreds of thousands of patrons annually to spend time and money in Downtown Columbia is the result of a strategic planning effort by Howard County and the Howard Hughes Corporation, working with multiple partners, such as Columbia Association. The city center is in the midst of a redevelopment effort designed to enhance life in Downtown Columbia by giving people options to move easily between work, home, school, running errands, eating and drinking, as well as experiencing art and culture.
The Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) serves as a vital resource to ensure that Downtown Columbia’s transportation and fair housing planning efforts, in particular, resonate throughout the Baltimore region. We invite you to read our December 2018 cover story, "Planning Columbia," which details the progress of redeveloping Downtown Columbia.
