Participant Guide: Environment And Business

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 the major forces and changes taking place globally, in the region, and in Prince George’s County, that might impact our future. A report from the Brookings Institution outlines some of the opportunities and challenges these changes offer.

Environmental constraints

Water supplies, air quality, Chesapeake Bay and river protection, and energy costs will have a direct effect on transportation and housing costs, as well as public policies that affect the amount and location of new residential and job growth.

Business reorganizations

The ongoing reorganization of business institutions— especially financial institutions—will affect the ways in which business leaders participate in regional economic and public policy.

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.
