Old Ellicott City Updates 

Businesses on the upper west portion of Main Street in Old Ellicott City have begun to reopen. But please be advised parking is still very limited. If you visit the open businesses between Ellicott Mills Drive and Court Ave, it is recommended that you come in via Courthouse Drive and park on Ellicott Mills Drive or at the Courthouse lot and walk down Court Ave. Lot F is also partially available to the public. (See map here.) For more information, please visit Howard County Government's resource page.
