The Prince George’s County Council has directed the County’s Planning Board and staff to proceed with rescheduling the Tuesday, September 27th Public Hearing on the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Sectional Map Amendment (Bowie SMA), and to continue collecting written comments and testimony as the Bowie SMA process moves forward.

The participation of our residents in Council processes is essential to our community’s progress. This action allows for additional review and provides added opportunity to discuss future growth in and around this area of the County.

The Council, sitting as the District Council on land-use matters, appreciates the active engagement of our residents and other stakeholders, including recent correspondence from the City of Bowie, requesting additional time for public comment and analysis in consideration of the goals of the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan adopted this April.

We look forward to the future completion of the Bowie SMA process.
