The Sentinel: Envisioning A Better Prince George’s


The Sentinel reports on this Saturday’s Envision Prince George’s 21st Century Town Meeting.

More than 1,000 people are expected to come Saturday to the Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex in Landover to offer opinions and vote on ways to shape the county’s future.

From 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the Envision Prince George’s 21st Century Town Meeting is expected to ultimately help guide the county to create more jobs, improve schools, protect natural resources and make communities safer, among other issues. There is no charge to attend the event, but space is limited, so registration is necessary.

According to meeting coordinators, there will be small group discussions designed for everyone’s opinions to be heard, wireless computers on every table to record ideas and hand-held polling devices that let everyone vote and see results instantly. They also said during a March 11 media briefing that the meeting is expected to be results oriented.

Samuel J. Parker Jr., chairman of the Prince George’s County Planning Board and vice chairman of The Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission, said Envision Prince George’s is being conducted in collaboration with the nonprofit organization AmericaSpeaks.
