New Gov. Offices Might Be Coming To Prince George’s


We might be getting some new government blood in Prince George’s County. There are no State  government building in Prince George’s County, but that might be about to change with the introduction of Housing, or Military.

Gov. Martin O’Malley’s staff is evaluating a study that discusses the merits of moving either the state’s Military Department or the Department of Housing and Community Development to a new location in Prince George’s County, a state official said Thursday.

Lt. Gov. Anthony G…. Brown’s chief of staff, Earl Adams Jr., presented the study at a meeting of Prince George’s County senators Thursday, saying it had been delivered to O’Malley (D).

The study says the housing department has 340 jobs at its Crownsville headquarters.

The Military Department — which is responsible for the Maryland Air National Guard, the Maryland Army National Guard, the Maryland Defense Force and the Maryland Emergency Management Agency — has 466 jobs at an armory in Baltimore.

Adams said the state owns the housing department building, assessed at $26 million, and its sale could serve to recoup the costs of a new site in Prince George’s.
