Here are the top three stories today in Catonsville:

1. Yesterday, Jan. 5, Baltimore County officials announced a plan to pay for damage caused by climate change, which includes establishing a Resilience Authority and getting nearly $2 million to help Turner Station — a historically-Black neighborhood in the eastern part of the county. In December, the county council approved paying consultant Throwe Environmental LLC to help create the Resilience Authority, which would find money to pay for projects related to climate change. Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski said, "A Resilience Authority will allow Baltimore County to proactively research and establish dedicated financial resources to projects to reduce flooding and damage to county and community infrastructure."

2. The Baltimore County Police are investigating a shooting in nearby Arbutus on Monday night, Jan. 2, which left two young men injured. Officers found an 18-year-old with a gunshot wound in the 3300 block of Washington Boulevard. The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A 20-year-old, the second victim, had non-life-threatening injuries and took himself to the hospital. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call (410) 307-2020 or Metro Crime Stoppers at (866) 756-2587. (Subscription: The Baltimore Sun)
