Upper Marlboro, MD - Today, Prince George's County Executive Rushern L.
Baker, III released the following statement regarding negotiations with the
State of Maryland over Purple Line contributions:

"Prince George's County has agreed in concept with the State of Maryland to
move the Purple Line forward. We have agreed to increase our contribution by
$20 million in exchange for construction of the Purple Line starting in
Prince George's County. We also have agreed with the state that the primary
command center will be located in the County.

Prince George's County had previously committed $100 million toward the
project. I want to thank my colleagues on the County Council for their
previous support and expect that they will continue to support this
transformative project for the future of transportation, congestion
alleviation, economic development as well as improving our environment and
quality of life.

We look forward to continuing to work with the State of Maryland, Montgomery
County, our federal partners, and the private sector as we finalize the
financing of this project in order to begin construction on the Purple Line
in Prince George's County."
