More than 1,000 residents submitted questions and comments about the redevelopment of the former Six Flags America theme park in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Some of them were addressed at a town-hall meeting Thursday.
The majority of commenters requested recreational facilities, as well as restaurants and shopping.
County Executive Aisha Braveboy kicked off the meeting noting the 515-acre site’s potential, saying it is larger than National Harbor.
鈥淲e want, and we can get additional higher-end retail and restaurants and other venues here in this county, and that is what I am fighting for,鈥� she said.
The former theme park’s redevelopment will be a joint venture between 35V, the investment firm co-founded by Prince George鈥檚 native and basketball superstar Kevin Durant, and Atlanta-based TPA Group.
Representing 35V at the town hall was Durant’s mother, Wanda.
鈥淲e’ve been here for four generations now,鈥� she said. 鈥淎nd when Kevin became an NBA player, one of his desires was to give back to his community.鈥�
Project supporters say it has the potential to benefit the county in three major ways: by giving the community what they want, such as restaurants and housing opportunities; by generating tax revenue; and by creating jobs.
At the town hall, promoted as an community members did not address the developers or county officials directly. Their questions and comments, collected through a community survey, were read aloud.
“One of the survey results that has gotten some of the highest marks is this idea of a chef-driven food hall and dining destination,” TPA Group’s Adam Rashid said.
This project is still in the early stages of planning and information-gathering, and remains open.
