The agreement was created through an extensive stakeholder engagement process led by the Purple Line Corridor Coalition (PLCC), a collaborative formed in 2013 among local government, community and nonprofit organizations, business and anchor institutions and administered by the University of Maryland’s National Center for Smart Growth. We are grateful to our leading partners – Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., CASA, Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission – for their commitment and collaborative spirit.
