Development Without Displacement: Centering Communities Through Housing Preservation

Maryland’s Montgomery and Prince George’s counties share deep ties, with residents regularly crossing county lines to shop, dine and work. A new light rail, the Purple Line, will strengthen these bonds, linking these two counties more directly than ever before.
