2035 Public Facilities Goal Enhance the quality of life and economic competitiveness of Prince George’s County through the efficient, equitable, and strategic siting of education, public safety, water and sewer, solid waste, and parks and recreation facilities.
Introduction Plan 2035 addresses the provision of public facilities–fire and rescue, police, schools, parks and recreation, water and sewer, solid waste, and libraries–needed to serve existing and future county residents and businesses. The effectiveness, sustainability, design, and location of these facilities are essential components to the county’s quality of life, economic competitiveness, and environmental health. A range of public and quasi-public agencies and jurisdictions are involved in planning for, financing, managing and operating, and siting these facilities (see Table 20). Effective coordination of these stakeholders’ complex and, at times, conflicting priorities and approaches is critical to maximizing the impact and the return on the county’s investments in its public facilities.
Live Public facilities are critical to maintaining a high quality of life for county residents and creating opportunities for personal enrichment, professional development, and healthy living.
Work By nurturing an educated workforce, ensuring a safe environment, and providing a range of services, public facilities can strengthen the economic competitiveness of the county and enhance its appeal to future businesses and employees.
Sustain The location and design of public facilities have important implications for the fiscal health of the county and the vitality of our environment by promoting the efficient use of public resources and preserving our natural assets.
