County Council - Sep 22, 2026
Two bills would speed up development approvals — one creating a fast track for high-priority transit district projects, another combining site plan and subdivision reviews into a single process.

Task Forces-Workgroups - Streamlining Development Review Workgroup - Apr 29, 2026
The county launched a work group, created by CR-014-2026, to look at consolidating development review applications and speeding up permitting. For anyone building, renovating, or developing in Prince George's County, the outcome could mean shorter waits and clearer requirements.
Planning, Housing and Economic Development Committee - Budget Work-session - MNCPPC - Commissioner's Office, Central Administrative Services (CAS), Planning Department - Apr 2, 2026
The county is building enough housing overall, but half of it is landing in established communities instead of the transit districts where the general plan wants growth. That means more sprawl-style development and less transit-oriented growth than planned.
