The recession has brought many development projects and accompanying political tensions to a halt in Howard County, but that doesn't mean that planning for new projects has stopped. While the idea for redeveloping Columbia's downtown is getting the most public attention, smaller projects are getting very little. One such project is Morris Place, a townhouse/office project that Ryan Homes wants to build where several commercial buildings now stand in the 7400 block of U.S. 1, south of Route 103. Former county planning director Joseph Rutter, now in private practice, held what the county calls a "pre-submission meeting" for the new Ryan project at the Elkridge Library on Aug. 12, but no citizens attended to hear about it. The meetings, listed on the county's Web site, are required by the county to provide information to the public before any formal plan submission to Howard government.
