An official said it was unusual for the sounds to carry all the way to Perry Hall.
UPDATE (9 a.m., Nov. 20)—An Aberdeen Proving Ground official confirmed that a series of boom sounds heard in the Perry Hall area on Monday were caused by testing at the facility.

County Councilman David Marks has proposed the protection of three Perry Hall areas from development, a total of more than 55 acres.
About six acres at Hines Road and Joppa Road could be barred from nearly all future development, according to a proposal by County Councilman David Marks.

County Councilman David Marks has plans to protect two areas along Honeygo Boulevard from nearly all development.
At least 49 acres in Perry Hall neighborhoods could be designated as open space by the end of the summer, County Councilman David Marks announced on Tuesday.

He first plans to apply it to two areas in Perry Hall: A map showing the designated areas is attached in PDF. “This will be the first time the open space zoning overlay will be used in Baltimore County, and we will use it to protect nearly 50 acres of land in eastern Perry Hall along Honeygo Boulevard,” Marks stated in a press release. “This is also the …
