Committee approves $1.8 million local impact grant spending plan for schools and college programs
Summary
The Committee of the Whole approved Resolution CR 59-2025 to transmit a multiyear local impact grant spending plan that allocates video lottery terminal tax revenue; additional FY2025 spending of $1,800,000 was recorded and an amendment was adopted. The committee vote was unanimous, 9-0.
The Committee of the Whole on May 27 approved Resolution CR 59-2025, transmitting a multiyear spending plan for local impact grant funds to the Prince George's County Council for review and approval. The spending plan covers the planned use of video lottery terminal (VLT) tax revenue from fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2027.
"C 59 20 25 is a resolution concerning the approval of the local impact grant funds multiyear plan. The spending plan details the planned use of video lottery terminal taxes from FY 2025 through FY '27. This additional FY 2025 spending plan totals $1,800,000," Mister Tutt said during the item.
Tutt said the plan directs resources to a nonprofit that works with the Prince George's County Public School System and Prince George's Community College. The transcript identifies planned FY2025 support dedicated to Crossland High School Career Academy and the community college's financial empowerment center and training programs.
Council Member Hawkins moved an amendment described in the meeting record as "Amendment 1;" a second was recorded and the roll call adopted the amendment unanimously. Later the committee moved a favorable recommendation to forward the spending plan to the full council; the committee vote on the favorable recommendation carried 9-0.
The committee note in the transcript says the plan had been before committee in February but had not completed the full process; the May 27 action advances the spending plan for further council consideration. The transcript does not specify the nonprofit by name nor provide a detailed line-item budget beyond the FY2025 additional spending total.
No public speakers were recorded on this item during the meeting.
