Non-profit organizations
serving the impact area surrounding MGM National Harbor are encouraged to
apply
Largo, MD – The Prince George’s County
Local Development Council (PGCLDC) announced today the release of the FY
2019 Local Impact Grant application. The Local Impact Grant
Program is for non-profits that serve Prince George’s County in the
defined impact area around MGM National Harbor. Local, non-profit
501(c)(3) organizations are encouraged to apply for funding that will
assist them in providing community-based programs and services within the
three-mile radius around the MGM National Harbor gaming facility.
Working with non-profits, the PGCLDC hopes to positively impact residents
and communities in the affected area.
Organizations interested in receiving funding must submit
their application via email at PGCLDCGrants@co.pg.md.us
and by mail or hand delivery by February 15th. Email
applications (without five hard copies received) will NOT be accepted,
and any application submitted after the deadline will be disqualified
from competitive review.
The PGCLDC, in consultation with the Prince George’s County
Office of the County Executive and the Prince George’s County Office of
Management and Budget, will offer an optional Grants Workshop on
Wednesday, February 6th, 2019 from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM at the
Addison School, 7100 Oxon Hill Road, Oxon Hill Maryland 20745 for those
applicants that would like additional information prior to submitting
their application. For a list of the FY2018 Awardees, please see
this link.
The PGCLDC was created by state law as a mechanism for
ensuring the public is engaged and has input into how the government
mitigates any negative impacts a new gaming facility may have on the
surrounding area. According to state law, each jurisdiction where a
gaming license is in operation must establish a local development
council. The Prince George’s County Local Development Council also
consults with the County on the following:
- The development of a multi-year plan
for the expenditure of local impact grant funds, and
- The development of a comprehensive
transportation plan for the gaming facility.
WHO CAN APPLY?

three-mile radius surrounding MGM National Harbor gaming facility in
