One of Columbias signature buildings will get a new use, as County Executive Ken Ulman announced today that the County has agreed to purchase a new home for the Maryland Center for Entrepreneurship (MCE), the iconic Flier building. Former home to the Columbia Flier newspaper, the building will undergo renovations to accommodate the economic development venture. The MCE, a component of the Howard County Economic Development Authority, is a cutting-edge initiative that creates an ecosystem connecting entrepreneurs to ideas, financing and other assistance. Nearly 100 resident and affiliate businesses use space at the MCE to nurture their concepts, and companies that have graduated from the center are adding jobs, making products and contributing to the vibrant economic climate in Howard County.
