The Prince George’s County Government and the Chesapeake Bay Trust announce the seventh year of our partnership to support projects throughout Prince George’s County that aid neighborhoods while treating and controlling stormwater. The goal of this program is to improve neighborhoods, improve water quality in the County’s waterways, and engage County residents in stormwater issues.
