Montgomery and Prince George’s counties may be two separate entities but for each county to reach its full economic potential, increased collaboration between the two jurisdictions will be important. An obvious connection is the now-under-construction Purple Line, which will connect Bethesda and Silver Spring with College Park and New Carrollton.

Our panel of County officials, economic development professionals and developers from both counties addressed this question and drilled down into the current economic development efforts of Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties.
