The Baltimore County Council killed a bill prohibiting warehouse retail stores likeCostco, BJ?s and Sam?s Club in manufacturing zones.
The bill, voted on at a legislative session Monday night, targeted a proposed Costco location in the 1100 block of Taylor Avenue in the district, represented by the bill?s sponsor Councilman Vince Gardina.
Gardina was the only member who voted for the bill, which he said reserved manufacturing zones for large employment centers and kept big box wholesale clubs from residential areas.
