Prince George’s County, Maryland, Executive Angela Alsobrooks arrived in Annapolis Wednesday morning, hours before the legislative session got underway.
Though Christmas may have been a few weeks ago, she still brought a wish list of budget priorities she hopes will get filled before lawmakers adjourn in April.
Alsobrooks also came to Annapolis with good reason to be optimistic. Her early endorsement of Governor-elect Wes Moore is considered one of the reasons he advanced through a crowded and competitive Democratic primary campaign last year.
Alsobrooks hopes to secure tens of millions of dollars in economic development aid this year. That includes over $56 million for projects to help with redevelopment around the New Carrollton Metro station, which she calls the new gateway to the Mid-Atlantic region. She’s also hoping to secure over $42 million for projects around the Central Avenue-Blue Line corridor.
