Protecting the Valley

Patapsco Heritage Greenway Management Plan

Patapsco Heritage Greenway Management Study:  One of the many undertakings of the PHG was an evaluation of the current relationships between various business, community associations, and environmental organizations in and around the Patapsco River - with special attention to the area between route 40 on the North and Route 1 on the South. The area includes the communities of Ellicott City, Oella, Relay and Elkridge. It was later broadened to also include Catonsville. The first and second phases of the Study have been completed under the auspices of The Maryland Heritage Area Authority and has been published for review. Programs and projects in which PHG would support individuals, communities, local and/or state government in implementing are included in the Study.

A copy of the Patapsco Heritage Greenway Management Study is available for download on the link to the right. Hard copies are currently available with various county and State agencies, local elected officials, and various county libraries near the proposed Heritage Area. PHG board members are also available upon request to address interested organizations. If there is widespread support for the Study, there are provisions for a phase three in which the Study could become a Plan. We expect to explore the feasibility of continuing on to a Plan over the next two years.

Additional links to the study are listed to the right.  Copies may also be viewed at the Catonsville and Howard County libraries. The accompanying maps are available for review there as part of the Patapsco Heritage Greenway Management Study.
