The DC Mastermind group enjoyed a comprehensive presentation from highly-anticipated guest David Iannucci, President of the Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation. Iannucci shared some exciting statistics about the county’s competitiveness and growth, as well as the county’s incentive strategy and plans for transit-oriented development particularly around five of the county’s 15 Metro stations (Branch Avenue, Largo, New Carrollton, Prince George’s Plaza and Suitland) and along the Purple Line.

The conversation also touched on such topics as the progress, or lack thereof, on issuing detailed rules stemming from tax reform and Opportunity Zones; bumps in the road for amateur flippers doing condo conversions of houses in DC; and how WeWork’s failed IPO could cause a ripple effect on the office leasing market.
