About The Planning Board

 Effective October 1, 2012, all materials for Planning Board consideration must be submitted by noon Wednesday, one day prior to the Planning Board hearing. We cannot guarantee that materials received after noon on Wednesday will get to the Planning Board in time for the hearing, but they will become part of the record. Any materials submitted after the Planning Board has voted on a particular matter will not become part of the record.

The Prince George's County Planning Board, together with the Montgomery County Planning Board, make up the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC). This bi-county agency was set up under state law in 1927 to acquire, develop, maintain, and administer a regional system of parks as well as prepare and administer a General Plan for the physical development of the two counties. In Prince George's County, those responsibilities expanded to include the operation and management of the entire public recreation program. The county executive appoints and the county council confirms the Planning Board's Chairman and four members who serve overlapping four-year terms. They help plan, shape, and maintain livable neighborhoods and healthy lifestyles for residents of Prince George's County.
