EDI Fund leverages $1 Billion in Investments

“The EDI Fund has been the ‘grease’ that has allowed Prince George’s County to become the economic engine of the State of Maryland and the National Capital Region. Prior to my administration, Prince George’s County did not have this critical economic development tool, and was an after-thought in the business community.
