Baltimore County acquires more property at Security Square Mall as part of repurposing effort

Baltimore County has acquired a 12-acre parcel at Security Square Mall in Woodlawn as part of an ongoing effort to repurpose part of the shopping center into a community hub. County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr., a Democrat, announced Wednesday that his administration would pay $6.85 million to purchase the extra acreage from owner Helmsman Property Services after buying the former Sears building at the mall last fall.
