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:  April 10, 2025 @7PM

We are pleased to announce that representatives from Rocket Lab’s Space Structures Complex in Middle River, will be attending BQIA's April 10th General Meeting.  Rocket Lab is a leading launch and space systems company and the Middle River Complex is focused on the development and manufacture of carbon composite products for space application. Nick Griffin, Facilities Operations Lead, and Sajjard Rifkey, Office Administrator, will discuss what Rocket Lab does and their increased marine/barge activity in the area. They look forward to engaging with the community, addressing any questions or concerns, and sharing more about operations and future plans.
