Building construction at the Prince George's County Planning Department's Largo Headquarters has shut the 1616 McCormick Drive offices to in-person visits as of March 9, with no reopening date announced. Both the Planning Department and the Planning Board offices at that address are affected.

The closure has no defined end date. The department has stated only that the reopening date is not yet known, leaving residents and applicants without a firm timeline for when walk-in access will return to the Largo facility.

Despite the closed doors, the department has emphasized that work continues. Development applications are still being accepted electronically, and staff across all divisions remain reachable by phone and email. The Planning Board can be contacted at 301-952-3560 or by emailing publicaffairs@ppd.mncppc.org. For those who are hearing or speech impaired, Maryland Relay 711 provides an accessible alternative. A second email address, PPD-InfoCounter@ppd.mncppc.org, is also listed for the Largo Headquarters. Staff are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except on government holidays.

Two related offices operate from separate Upper Marlboro addresses and may serve residents with specific needs during the closure. The Largo Stormwater Management office is located at 9201 Basil Court and can be reached at 301-883-5944 or 301-883-5710. M-NCPPC Permit Review at the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement operates from 9400 Peppercorn Place and lists primary contact numbers of 301-883-5776 and 301-883-5867. The in-person status of those offices during the Largo construction period has not been formally confirmed.

The Planning Department's contact page includes a full directory of divisions and staff for those who need to reach a specific section of the department directly.
