With construction of the Purple Line now well underway, projects are beginning to sprout up in communities along the 16-mile light-rail route. With 21-stops across both Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties, the Purple Line will create new opportunities for transit-oriented development along the corridor. The Purple Line presents an important opportunity for economic growth and expansion for both existing Metro station and new Purple Line station areas. With that opportunity, also comes a challenge to ensure that existing residents and businesses will also benefit from the new connections created by the Purple Line.
Please join ULI Washington for an informative panel discussion with developers, non-profit leaders, and planners on how the Purple Line is changing the built environment and creating new opportunities to live, work and play in the
region. The panel will discuss the impacts of the Purple Line on existing affordable and market-rate housing; how County planners are preparing for this expected wave of development; strategies for marketing station areas to attract new businesses and residents; and the potential for the Purple Line to transform economic competitiveness in the region.
