Parks and Recreation bid submitted for the WMATA Property at Albion Road!

Back in November 2018 I posted the article below which got the conversation going about this land being for sale:

In January 2019 I posted an update as more information became available:

We received excellent support from the City of College Park and Town of Riverdale Park along with Prince George's County.

The outcry about any possible rezoning was so loud that the listing company updated the listing about the current single family zoning.

I am very happy to report that the Prince Georges County Department of Parks and Recreation submitted a letter of intent to acquire 6 acres of WMATA property at Albion Road on 2/20/19  (which was the deadline for bids on this property)

I am hoping that this bid, coupled with the declaration by both College Park and Riverdale Park that rezoning from R-55 would be almost impossible for any developer will result in a favorable outcome for the people who live in this area and care about this land.

It's now up to WMATA to choose the M-NCPPC bid, which is supported by the community and preserves a key part of the Prince George's County Green Infrastructure Network.

Thanks to all of the neighbors and government officials who assisted in this effort!
