Community engagement took center stage during the recent zoning hearing in Prince George's County, as Mr. Brevard detailed extensive outreach efforts for a new project in the Brandywine area. Brevard emphasized the importance of local relationships, noting meetings with various community organizations, including the Brandywine North Key Civic Association and Union Bethel AME Church.

"We have met with many people and organizations in the area," Brevard stated, highlighting a recent meeting with Asbury UME Church that he described as "exceptionally well" attended. His gratitude towards community members for their participation underscored the project's commitment to transparency and collaboration.

The discussion also touched on the technical staff's involvement in reviewing proposed conditions for the project. Mr. Brown inquired about the status of the technical staff report, revealing some confusion regarding personnel changes within the commission. Despite the challenges, the focus remained on ensuring that community voices are heard and considered in the planning process.

This meeting marks a significant step in fostering community relations and addressing local concerns, setting the stage for future developments in the area. As the project progresses, continued engagement with residents will be crucial for its success.
