Issue Position: Economic Development

Issue Position

I have spent many years working in areas of land use and economic development on the County Council, as a staff member and community activist. I have proposed and/or sponsored nearly 800 pieces of legislation that have expanded the capacity of Prince George's County including several sector plans and sectional map amendments; development districts to include the Woodmore Towne Centers at Glenarden; increased minimum wage; and several tax credit programs which provided resources for senior housing developments. I will utilize that experience and knowledge of county operations, as well as knowledge of the development process, to leverage State economic development resources in partnership with the County to increase development opportunities. This increases our commercial tax base to alleviate some of the residential tax burdens on our residents.
