*RIVERDALE PARK BUSINESS ASSOCIATION*

*Inspectors Speak To Area Businesses Tonight*

*REMINDER!*

*Riverdale Park, MD, May 8, 2019 – *Every business operator knows that
before a business opens, the owner’s wallet opens and their world and their
schedules are dominated by those who conduct inspections, and issue permits
and licenses. Businesses often travel through a regulatory maze that not
only confuses a seasoned business operator but is hard-explained even by
the best regulators and elected officials who propose most of the rules of
the game.

Join the Riverdale Park Business Association on *THIS EVENING AT 5:30 at
Town Hall*(5008 Queensbury Road, RPMD, 20737) for a RECEPTION sponsored by
the Town of Riverdale Park to celebrate Economic Development Week. Then, at
6 pm, join RPBA for the first of what certainly will be an ongoing series
of “Meet the Inspector.” RPBA Vice President *Michael Herman, Esq*. will
emcee an interesting 90-minute session with *Lt. Chris Harrison*of the
Prince George’s County Office of the Fire Marshal, and with Riverdale Park
Code Enforcement Chief *Brad Goshen*. The program will kick-off with a
brief presentation by*Katherine Heintzelman*, a certified lead inspector
licensed in Maryland and the District. Her last presentation to RPBA on
Oct. 11, 2017 shed light on the mystery of Maryland lead inspection
requirements and why the State is cracking down on property owners with
bone-crunching fines.

This is a *SPECIAL RPBA monthly**meeting *intended to help business
operators understand what is expected of them while providing regulators an
opportunity to communicate what they need from business.

Riverdale Park has designated May 6-11 as “Economic Development Week”
and business
operators, investors and the community is invited to a reception in Town
Hall beginning at 5:30pm.

Chamber of Commerce President *David Harrington *is also expected to
address the meeting and *Enterprise Community Partners, Inc.*, a DC-based
non-profit will unveil details of a business assessment study it is
conducting in Riverdale Park and greater Riverdale that intends to record
the various needs and challenges faced by area businesses.
