Title

Proposed letter to the Honorable Lawrence J. Hogan, Jr., Governor, State of Maryland, regarding Prince George’s County Council’s Position on State Funding for the Purple Line corridor in Prince George’s County.

 

Background

The Maryland General Assembly set aside $2 million in Fiscal Year 2021  funds to help struggling businesses impacted by the Purple Line Corridor construction. Those funds were encumbered in 2020 and available for distribution on or about July 1, 2020. The Hogan Administration has failed to distribute them. The County Council strongly urges the Governor to release the $2 million in the attached correspondence.
