HoCoMDcc: The future of the Columbia Flier Building is uncertain
The Building is an icon in Columbia, for it's unique design by Bob Moon, and as the long-time home of the Columbia Flier.
After serving as home of the Columbia Flier for 33 years, the building went on sale in 2012. Howard County purchased the building in 2014 during the Ulman administration for the future home of the Maryland Center for Entrepreneurship, an initiative of the Howard County Economic Development Authority.
County Executive Kittleman nixed the plan during his first term in 2015, finding that renovations would cost approximately $7.2 million, almost three times the purchase price. The property has now been identified as a potential site for construction of affordable housing.
