Summary of Proceedings

Prince George's County Council Committee of the Whole Meeting - October 6, 2026

The Prince George's County Council, sitting as the Committee of the Whole, met on October 6, 2026, to consider two agenda items: CR-103-2026, a resolution concerning the Local Impact Grant Funds Multiyear Plan for FY2028-2030, and TA-6-2026, a minor amendment to the 2010 Approved Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment for Subregion 1 (Planning Areas 60, 61, 62, and 64). Both items were unanimously approved.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • At a joint public hearing on June 8, 2026, nine speakers provided oral testimony and staff received 21 written submissions (plus one late submission) regarding the Subregion 1 plan amendment. Testimony focused on zoning, public facilities, and parks, with a key concern being the potential impacts of qualified data centers.

The council moved an amendment (moved by Councilmember Burroughs, seconded by Councilmember Fisher), which passed unanimously, and then moved to approve the resolution as amended.
  • TA-6-2026 – Subregion 1 Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment: Staff (Elena Perry, Hannah Menard, and Kier McCune) presented an overview of testimony received and worked collaboratively with the council on revisions. Councilmember Denoga moved to direct staff to prepare a resolution of approval on the minor amendment with revisions (seconded by Vice Chair Olson). A separate motion was made for approval of the sectional map amendment with revisions.
