Food Trucks Now On Menu At Columbia Gateway
Hitting food trucks for lunch is one of the first ways workers at Columbia Gateway may begin connecting as part of new Innovation District.
COLUMBIA, MD — Food trucks are now part of the scenery at Columbia Gateway. Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman greeted them Tuesday as they arrived at the business park, which is becoming an "Innovation District."
Columbia Gateway is home to more than 400 businesses and 26,000 employees. The 884-acre industrial and office park located near Interstate 95 at MD 175 contains a blend of established companies and startups.
To offer those who work there more opportunities for interaction, the county is creating connections — developing parks, pathways, eating spaces and working spaces there.
