FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 11, 2014


Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (MD-4) released the following statement regarding the General Services Administration including Prince George’s County in two lease proposals to consolidate offices for the National Institutes of Health.  The lease proposals were passed by a voice vote in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

“I commend the General Services Administration (GSA) for adding Prince George’s County in the delineated area in the proposals to consolidate office space for the National Institutes of Health.  Since coming to office, I have encouraged GSA to recognize the accessibility, proximity, and value to the taxpayers that Prince George’s County offers.  While these NIH proposals are a step in the right direction, I will continue to work with GSA to bring quality federal lease opportunities to Prince George’s County to put us on equal footing with other jurisdictions in the metropolitan Washington area.”
