PLA proponents are attempting to pressure elected officials to mandate a PLA on the sphere project at National Harbor in Prince Georges County. This decision would exclude a vast majority of Prince Georges County local and minority-owned contractors from bidding on this project.
WHAT IT IS
WHAT THIS MEANS
- Mandating a PLA on this project would undermine fair and open competition in the construction bidding process
- An estimated cost increase of at least 20% on this project.
- Puts at risk a game-changing economic development opportunity for the entire region putting at risk 1,000s of good paying jobs.
