Anne Arundel County Council green lights Galesville store renovation project

A bill critical to a project to renovate a long-abandoned building that used to house a historic general store in Galesville passed the Anne Arundel County Council unanimously Monday night. The legislation to reclassify the half-acre parcel in the south county town along the West River from a limited development area to an intensely developed area will enable the new owners, the resident-run nonprofit Galesville Community Properties Inc., to renovate and subdivide the property.
