Council approves Allentown Road project for 10 single family homes

The Prince George's County Council convened on July 1, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including a significant project on Allentown Road and a resolution concerning public health impacts.

The meeting began with Norman Rivera addressing the council regarding a project on Allentown Road, located in the chair's district. Rivera noted that the planning staff, planning board, and acting county executive had all recommended approval for the project, which involves the development of ten single-family units on over ten acres. He emphasized the importance of community engagement as the project moves forward and expressed gratitude for the council's support.

Following Rivera's presentation, the council moved to a vote to discharge the project from the TIE committee. The motion was made by the Vice Chair and seconded by Council Member Ivy. The roll call vote resulted in unanimous support, with all members voting in favor, allowing the project to proceed to the Committee of the Whole (COW) for further discussion.

After the vote, the council took a brief recess before reconvening to address resolutions eligible for final reading and adoption. One notable resolution discussed was CR 54, which pertains to the health atlas and its public health impacts.

The meeting concluded with a clear progression of discussions and decisions, highlighting the council's commitment to community development and public health initiatives. Further follow-up actions are expected as the council continues to engage with these important topics in future sessions.
