In partnership with Creative Suitland and building off their transformative placemaking work, Placemaking Suitland held a 2-day, fun-filled event on April 8 - 9, 2022 celebrating the arts and community.
The Prince George’s Planning Department, Creative Suitland, and the Better Block Foundation also hosted a virtual kickoff on Wednesday, January 19, 2022, to share details about the placemaking initiative and ways that participants can help bring the event to life!
The Placemaking Section collaborates with communities and government agencies to rethink and rebuild public spaces in Prince George’s County. This work is achieved through:
Technical assistance to organizations and agencies developing public spaces;
Community outreach to solicit input on public spaces and placemaking in the County;
Evaluation of plans and policies to assess progress towards meeting goals; and
Administering initiatives and programs that implement policies in places.
Our work is centered on placemaking, a set of practices that develops public space and a sense of identity in a place.
