The Port Towns
Uniting Communities
The Port Towns are the towns of Bladensburg, Colmar Manor, Cottage City, and Edmonston, Maryland. The Prince George’s County Planning Department seeks to initiate a multi-year effort to develop a new sector plan for the Port Towns. The vision for the Port Towns is to achieve green, healthy, and pedestrian-friendly communities and destinations that celebrate and build upon the area’s cultural diversity, strategic location, industrial base, and historical, recreational, and environmental assets.
