Our Economic Development Platform

Strengthening Prince George’s is County Executive Angela Alsobrooks’ vision to build the commercial tax base by focusing economic development around transit hubs in the County. She and many other Prince George’s leaders are securing investments that will bring new jobs, affordable housing, amenities, and advance equity for all Prince Georgians. Strengthening Prince George’s begins with the people who already call it home.

This platform represents the County Executive’s vision for a new way of doing business in Prince George’s County. It will guide and influence the County’s economic development activity for generations, setting goals to guide policy and investments, and launching signature projects to demonstrate our commitment to a stronger, more vibrant Prince George’s.
