Seat Pleasant council backs state enterprise‑zone redesignation application
Summary
The council voted 5–1 to support Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation’s application to redesignate a state enterprise‑zone focus area that would include Seat Pleasant, enabling tax credits intended to spur business investment.
The Seat Pleasant City Council voted to adopt Resolution R‑2602 on Sept. 8, formally supporting Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation’s application to redesignate a state enterprise‑zone focus area that includes the city.
The resolution, read at the work session, stated the state enterprise zone designation provides county and municipal tax credits and incentives intended to attract private investment to targeted communities. Supporters told the council the designation would make local properties and projects eligible for state and local tax credit incentives tied to redevelopment.
Council members moved and seconded the resolution on the work session floor; the roll call vote recorded the measure as passing 5–1. A council member asked for an improved citywide map for the application material; a speaker said the attached map should be redone for clarity.
The resolution takes effect upon adoption; the city’s action is a statement of local support for the county’s application and does not itself create tax credits or change the city’s tax code.
