It is a plain and simple fact that our county needs more housing. People want housing that they can afford, and they do not want to have to spend their lives sitting in traffic just to get to work.  Nothing demonstrates the strong support for these simple ideas more than the broad, diverse coalition that showed up in support of the announcement of the More Housing N.O.W. package.

March 10, 2025 Mr. Peter Shapiro, Chair Prince George’s County Planning Board, M-NCPPC 1616 McCormick Drive, Largo MD Via: pgcpb@mncppc.org RE: Support for the Flats at Glenridge Station, DSP-23008 & DDS-24002 Dear Chair Shapiro and members of the Board: Please accept this testimony on behalf of the Coalition for Smarter

Send a message to the Prince George's Planning board by Tuesday, March 11, 12 noon We’ve advocated for the Purple Line. We’ve advocated more affordable housing - especially at rail transit. Well, here it is! The first new affordable apartments steps away from the Glenridge Purple Line station. Please join

Location matters when we build new housing. The Housing for Jobs Act will help to produce more of the homes Maryland needs in strategic locations tied to our transit network, our environmental health, and our economic success.
