On September 29, 2025 we discussed the potential of the Bowie State University MARC station area to be a vibrant transit-oriented community.  

We were grateful for the diverse mix of elected and government officials, community members, and Bowie State University staff who attended the event. We were thrilled that the entire District 23 Delegation – Sen. Ron Watson, Del. Adrian Boafo, Del. Kym Taylor, and Del. Marvin Holmes attended. Also joining us was District 22 Del. Nicole Williams and County Council Member Ingrid Turner. We also welcomed a number of County Executive Braveboy administration officials, including Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Iris Boswell and Planning Board Chair Darryl Barnes.

We appreciated the comments from the joint development partnership:

David Zaidain, Maryland Department of Transportation

Dr. Aminta Breaux, Bowie State University

Judy Danso, Prince George’s County Revenue Authority 

Scott Gottbreht, Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development

We especially want to thank President Dr. Breaux and the many Bowie State University staff who hosted us and helped imagine the opportunities and benefits of a vibrant, walkable mix of homes and businesses connected to the University. 
We have attached the tour handout and here is the link to MDOT’s request for proposals from MDOT.
