Bigger Enterprise Zone Hopes to Earn $100M

The additon of Camp Springs, and Suitland to the Enterprise Zone hopes to add $100M in capital investments, and new jobs to Maryland.

An expanded Prince George’s County Enterprise Zone could spur $100 million in capital investments and 150 new or retained jobs during the next five years, according to state officials.

Camp Springs and Suitland are the most recent additions to the county’s Enterprise Zone, Lt. Gov. Anthony M. Brown announced Monday after meeting with business leaders, government officials and military personnel.

“We want to emphasize and focus the need for development in Camp Springs and the surrounding areas,” Brown (D) said, speaking at the leasing office of Tribeca, a mixed-use development in Camp Springs.

The expansion is about more than tapping into the business opportunities presented through the Pentagon’s shifts from Virginia to Maryland under its Base Realignment and Closure program, he said: It is about tapping into Maryland’s continued growth.
