Ulman scraps plans to sell county property

Howard County Executive Ken Ulman has scrapped plans to sell one piece of county-owned property in Ellicott City and has found about $3 million in additional budget cuts to fill that hole.

Selling the 26-acre property on Martha Bush Drive would have raised about $4 million to help fund renovations to the county office building and the purchase of office space in Oakland Mills. But the plan to sell property drew the ire of some residents and council members.
