About the BQIA......In 1938, with concern over the increasing year round population and development on the peninsula, the Bowleys Quarters Improvement Association (BQIA) was incorporated by a group of property owners. Its hope was “to promote and assure consented activity in all matters pertaining to the proper development; improvement; and maintenance of that portion of Baltimore County known as Bowleys Quarters and vicinity thereof”. Since 1938, the BQIA has been actively addressing water and sewerage issues, population growth, zoning, development, watershed protection, Martin State Airport noise and traffic, road and drainage maintenance, public services, air and water quality, and any issues that may impact the integrity of the area. All on a volunteer basis. We invite you to join us at one of our monthly meetings and get involved in our community. | Next Meeting: January 8, 2026 @7PMNOTE: The Members Roundtable has been moved to February's meeting due to the need to address time sensitive issues. We are starting off the New Year with the future in mind and in keeping with our original intent to “operate exclusively for the promotion of social welfare, for the good and improvement of the community, and in the best interests of the community residents”. So, what are the community’s best interests and how do we balance those with proposed improvements? The board members would appreciate your input to better target and direct BQIA energy. Our January 8th meeting will include roundtable discussions regarding what is happening in and around our vicinity and what those in attendance think is urgent and/or important, what is of lesser priority, and what are we missing on the horizon? Josh Sines, President of Essex Middle River Civic Council will give an update on the building proposed for the ballpark at Eastern Ave. and Wilson Point Rd and there will also be an update on efforts to fund the new BQVFD station. As always, attendance is appreciated! |
