Top issues during term (20)
National Harbor Sphere Project and TIF Financing
Up to $215 million in bonds, repaid from tax revenues generated within the National Harbor district rather than the county's general fund.
Local Impact Grant Funds spending plan (FY2028-FY2030)
The plan governs multiyear spending of Local Impact Grant Funds.
County-owned grocery store feasibility
No commitment yet; NYC's comparable five-store program committed $70 million in capital funding.
Senior and disabled property-tax relief package
Estimates run from about $700,000 a year (CB-94) to $2.6 million (CB-117) to up to $13 million in deferrals (CB-95) — and they could stack if all pass.
Subregion 1 Master Plan Amendment and Rezonings
Future development resulting from the plan amendments will influence local tax revenues and infrastructure investments.
Rental License Display and Short-Term Rental Penalties
Higher penalties for short-term rental license violations could bring in more enforcement revenue — and more cost for hosts who don't comply.
Jones House District 8 programs and accountability
Public grant funds to Jones House are under two independent financial reviews.
Construction Mentor-Protege Training Cohort Program
Apprenticeship incentives like wage subsidies cost county money, but career exploration programs pay off substantially over time, presenters said.
National Harbor Tax Increment Financing
Up to $215 million in special obligation bonds, repaid from venue-district tax revenues rather than the county's general taxing power.
Streamlining subdivision and development review
Could shorten development timelines for builders; opponents cite DPIE understaffing and legal exposure.
Own the Block commercial real estate education initiative
Program costs would be borne by the Economic Development Corporation; no figure stated.
Rent stabilization fees
The proposed fees would fund a program that otherwise has no dedicated funding beyond two staff positions.
Rooming house crackdown in Capitol Heights
The Moores say losing two tenants would cut their income roughly 40% and could force them to shut the house down entirely.
2018 Water and Sewer Plan amendments (June 2026 cycle)
Utility expansions and the development they enable can carry infrastructure costs and tax-base effects that aren't itemized in the materials provided.
Saddle Ridge — 703 homes in Brandywine
More than 102 acres of the Birch Branch stream valley will be preserved and conveyed to M-NCPPC.
The Grove at Hyde Landing reconsideration
New homes would add to the county's property tax base and school/utility service demands, though exact figures aren't yet known.
Autism Equity Initiative in Prince George's County
About $285,000 in initial costs, plus a related $500,000 early connections autism program allocation.
WSSC FY 2028 budget and water rate increases
A possible 7% water rate increase in FY 2028 — the study recommends up to 11.7% — plus $10.64 million budgeted for customer assistance.
Cannabis Reinvestment and Restoration Board Methodology
Roughly $12 million available for community grants, with about $2 million in new revenue each year.
FY 2028-2030 Local Impact Grant plan letter
