Prince George's County Question J: Public Safety Facilities Bonds
Source: elections.maryland.gov
What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Infrastructure, Public Safety and Crime Control
Opposes: Government Spending Reduction
Prince George's County could borrow up to $54 million for police and fire stations, a police forensics lab, a public safety building at National Harbor, and jail upgrades. County taxpayers would repay the loans with interest over many years; the question sets no new tax.
Proposed by: Prince George's County Council (CB-055-2026, County Executive and 5 Council Members)
The county's elected council passed this borrowing bill on June 22, 2026 at the County Executive's request. The county charter makes voters approve borrowing paid back with property taxes.
A YES vote means
The county can borrow up to $54 million for police, fire, and jail buildings, which county taxpayers repay with interest over time.
A NO vote means
The county cannot borrow this money for public safety buildings, so those projects would need other funding or wait.
