On May 30, 2023, the Prince George’s County Council, sitting as the District Council, approved Council Resolution CR-053-2023, authorizing the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission to prepare a sector plan and concurrent sectional map amendment (SMA) for the Central Avenue-Blue/Silver Line area, which includes a portion of the Town of Capitol Heights and the City of Seat Pleasant. A sector plan is a community-driven planning and policy document that serves as the blueprint for the revitalization and physical development of an area. It outlines the vision and goals for a specific area.

We have spent the last several months researching existing conditions and working with the community to understand issues, challenges, and priorities.  It is now time to start creating a realistic and implementable sector plan.

The critical first step in plan development is the creation of a vision statement. The vision statement tells us what something looks like at a point in the future. This plan area needs a unified and complementary vision to guide future development and address current community needs.

We have taken the first pass at crafting all you have told us into a vision statement and would like your feedback by January 19, 2024!
