Empire Towers Shutdown and Business Aid | Baltimore News

Empire Towers in Glen Burnie is now a ghost building—unusable and surrounded by a safety zone after unauthorized construction last week caused serious structural damage. The county executive confirmed the July 9th incident during garage work on the 10-story tower, forcing all access to halt while engineers scramble to stabilize it. Nearby businesses are reeling, with shuttered doors and trapped cars in the garage, but relief is on the way: a county disaster recovery grant offers at least $2,500 to affected owners, and detour routes are being mapped to keep customers and workers moving—even as the building remains off-limits.
