Revenue Authority of Prince George’s County Releases RFP For

“Campus Village” Development at Bowie State University

Maryland Area Regional Commuter (MARC) Station

Largo, MD — [November 5, 2025] — The Revenue Authority of Prince George’s County announced the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking a qualified master developer to lead the multi-phased development of a mixed-use, transit-oriented “Campus Village” adjacent to the Bowie State University Maryland Area Regional Commuter (MARC) Train Station.

The 93-acre county-owned site will set a new standard for development by creating a destination for residents, visitors, students, and other community stakeholders. The project represents a transformative opportunity with an amenity-rich, sustainable community that seamlessly integrates diverse housing, commercial, recreational, and institutional uses within a setting that highlights the natural beauty of the landscape. This plan aligns with Governor Moore’s economic development priorities supporting affordable housing availability and innovation corridors near our transit centers.

The Revenue Authority has earmarked $1 million to advance the infrastructure and due diligence work to advance the development project. A key goal of the site is to celebrate the environmental significance of the area such as the Patuxent Research Refuge nearby and integrate the natural landscape into the development versus drastically altering the area.

“I anticipate a lot of exciting plans emerging because I can’t think of a more perfect location for the development of a vibrant urban core village project,” said County Executive Aisha Braveboy. Campus Village encompasses all the elements – including easy-access transportation where business, residential, and entertainment can coexist seamlessly and complementarily.”

The Campus Village project represents a true partnership project—one that brings together State, County, and BSU leadership to deliver a vibrant, walkable community that enhances quality of life while driving economic opportunity. In October 2024, the Revenue Authority finalized a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Bowie State University (BSU) and the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) to memorialize a shared commitment.

“This project further advances the economic development plan for Bowie State University. It reflects our shared commitment with the County and State to build a sustainable, transit-oriented community that connects people, opportunity and innovation. By linking our campus to a vibrant mixed-use environment, we are not only enhancing access and quality of life for our students, faculty and neighbors, but we’re also strengthening our role as an anchor institution driving inclusive economic growth and environmental stewardship across the region, said Dr. Aminta H. Breaux, President of Bowie State University.

“The Maryland Department of Transportation is proud to partner with Prince George’s County and Bowie State University on transforming the Bowie State MARC Station area into a vibrant, transit-served community,” said Maryland Department of Transportation Acting Secretary Samantha J. Biddle. “Through our executed MOU, and alongside State efforts to advance redevelopment of Department-owned land next to the train station, together we will catalyze new housing, including affordable housing, and expand economic development.”

“The Campus Village project reflects our commitment to Elevate Prince George’s County by creating connected, inclusive communities where residents, students, and businesses can thrive,” said Executive Director of the Revenue Authority of Prince George’s County, Judith S. Danso. “This development will bring new energy and opportunity to the area while preserving the natural landscape and strengthening our partnership with Bowie State University and the State of Maryland.”

Developers are encouraged to submit creative, financially sound, and visionary proposals that demonstrate the ability to plan, finance, and deliver a project of this scale and community significance.
