Participant Guide: Economic and Housing

The Envision Participant Guide provides an in-depth exploration of the opportunities and challenges which may shape the future of Prince George’s County.

In today’s excerpt, we take a look at some of the goals from the Greater Washington 2050 Coalition.  The Greater Washington 2050 Coalition brought together leaders from across the region to lay the foundation for the kind of region everyone in the District of Columbia and surrounding counties “want to enjoy in the years to come.” The coalition’s conclusion was “To shape our future and to maintain and improve our quality of life, this region deserves bold action, not business as usual.”

Economic: Create a diversified, stable, and competitive economy, with a wide range of employment opportunities and a focus on sustainable economic development. Enhance the economic prosperity of each jurisdiction and the region as a whole through balanced growth and access to high-quality jobs for everyone.

Housing: Provide a variety of housing types and choices in diverse, vibrant, safe, healthy, and sustainable neighborhoods, affordable to persons at all income levels. Make affordable housing a priority throughout the region.

For much more background on our county, please download and review the Envision Participant Guide (note: This is a large 2MB PDF file), and look for many more Participant Guide excerpts here at the Envision blog.
