Master Plan Evaluation Program (MPEP) Project
The Prince George’s Planning Department hired a consultant in 2024 to overhaul the Master Plan Evaluation Project, which kicked off on November 11, 2024. The goal is to complete a master and sector plan recommendation database to help track the implementation of actionable recommendations. The project is currently ongoing.
The Master Plan Evaluation Project (MPEP) is a key initiative of the Community Planning Division designed to track progress and measure the effectiveness of the County’s long-range planning efforts. Led by a consultant team, the project reviews comprehensive area plans, including master plans, sector plans, and transit district development plans, on a six-year cycle, as required by the County’s Zoning Ordinance. This regular evaluation helps ensure that planning goals remain aligned with community needs, development trends, and policy priorities. The current evaluation cycle officially launched on November 11, 2024. Prince George’s County has 37 active area master plans (including sector and transit district development plans).
