This study was initiated to investigate the needs of the Greater Chillum Community
and prepare guidance to assist Prince George’s County and The Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Commission with implementation approaches. The study
area is located in an unincorporated region of Prince George’s County, east of the
City of Takoma Park (Montgomery County), south of Langley Park, west of the
City of Hyattsville, and north of the District of Columbia. The project concentrates
on developing a comprehensive list of needs and improvement strategies with an
emphasis on defining and facilitating neighborhood conservation, pedestrian safety
and access, and commercial revitalization strategies and programs.
