Greenbelt City Council is taking significant steps to enhance its infrastructure and technology during the recent meeting held on September 8, 2025. One of the key discussions centered around the need for additional legislation regarding electric vehicle (EV) chargers. Council members expressed the importance of ensuring that the city code is updated to reflect current needs and regulations related to EV charging stations. The city is currently undergoing a recodification process, which will allow for necessary updates to the code. Officials are optimistic that existing state legislation can be leveraged for the enforcement of these charging stations, ensuring compliance and support for the growing demand for electric vehicles.

In addition to the discussions on EV infrastructure, the council announced the rollout of Microsoft 365 applications across the municipal building. This transition to a subscription-based model is expected to enhance the efficiency of city operations. Council members who are already using online applications will see minimal disruption, as the upgrade primarily affects desktop applications like Outlook. This move is part of a broader effort to modernize city technology and improve service delivery to residents.

These initiatives reflect Greenbelt's commitment to sustainability and technological advancement, positioning the city to better serve its community in the future. As the recodification process progresses and the technology upgrades are implemented, residents can expect improved services and infrastructure that align with contemporary needs.
