The Prince George's County Council, sitting as the district council, voted on Feb. 24, 2025 to convene an executive session under Section 3-305(b)(4) of the General Provisions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland to consider two business proposals for potential economic development incentive funding. The motion was seconded and passed by roll call, recorded as unanimous.
The motion invoked the statutory exception for discussions of a proposed business location, expansion, or retention when disclosure would adversely affect the financial interests of the parties. The council’s roll call recorded yes votes from Chair Ivy, Vice Chair Burrows, Council Members Denoga, Fisher, Hawkins, Orietta and Watson. The transcript does not record further discussion of the proposals in open session; the meeting then proceeded to adjourn for the executive session.
The action is procedural: it permits the council to discuss confidential business proposals in closed session but is not a decision to award incentives or enter agreements. Any subsequent public action would be recorded in future open-session minutes.
