Civic Plaza at Wayne K. Curry Administration Building - Blue Line Corridor Project

project Summary

In April 2022, the Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) Board of Directors approved a request by the County Executive of Prince George’s County for MSA’s assistance with respect to the feasibility, design, development, and construction of proposed sports, entertainment, and public assembly facilities in Central Prince George’s County along the Blue Line Corridor

During the 2022 legislative session, the General Assembly authorized MSA to issue $400 million in bonds to finance these proposed facilities. In January 2023, the Maryland Board of Public Works approved the memorandum of understanding between MSA and the County that formally begins the process to issue the bonds.

The new Civic Plaza, the first of the five Blue Line Corridor projects, is located in the current parking lot of the Wayne K. Curry Administration Building (WKC) in Largo, MD. In 2024, residents participated in a series of interactive design workshops with the Civic Plaza project team. Features of the Civic Plaza at WKC will include: 

  • A prominent lawn and stage area for large community events 
  • A playground designed for young children 
  • An outdoor game area and art walk with seating 
  • A butterfly garden 
  • An enclosed dog park 
  • Flexible space to support everything from casual visits to large-scale festivals

The cost of the work will be financed through MSA in accordance with the Blue Line Corridor Bond Act. The Civic Plaza project broke ground in April 2025 is scheduled for completion in December 2025.
