Prince George’s County leaders celebrated the opening of a new human services building Tuesday as part of a wider redevelopment project in Capitol Heights.
The building, located in Hampton Park, consolidates health and wellness services that were previously spread throughout the county, putting agencies like social services, family services and senior activities under one roof.
“So many of our residents have to travel to get the support and services that they need, so the fact that it’s right here inside the beltway in Capitol Heights is so, so special to us,” acting Prince George’s County Executive Tara Jackson said.
County and state leaders cut the ribbon for the new building Tuesday morning alongside their partner, Velocity Companies.
The building includes modernized offices, conference rooms, and a gym with weights and treadmills for seniors.
