Across Maryland, communities are organizing memorial services, vigils, runs and concerts to honor victims, first responders and service members 25 years after the attacks.
   

• Howard County Council considering proposed solar panel pause after state law change (wmar2news.com) — Howard County Council is weighing a one-year pause on large solar projects, a move based in Ellicott City that could affect 15 developments now moving forward with limited public input. The proposal would halt approvals for facilities over one megawatt while planners hold a public meeting and craft clearer rules, potentially reshaping how renewable energy is built in the county's rural west.
