Suitland rebirth eyed under Smart Growth plan
The Suitland area faces redevelopment under Maryland’s 1997 Smart Growth initiative. Prince Georges County aims to spend 10 million on refurbishing apartment complexes as part of an 80 million regional housing program centered near the federal center. County Executive Wayne Curry touts the plan as bringing revival to a long neglected Black community once bustling with shops. A Green Line Metro stop nearby is expected to spur renewed commerce and reconnect residents with jobs across the fence barrier that divides center from community.

WV doctors flee rising malpractice costs to Maryland and Virginia
Martinsburg doctors report malpractice insurance in West Virginia much higher than neighboring states. Daryl LaRusso notes Maryland premiums are 2.5 times lower and Virginia up to four times lower. Medical Assurance cites high WV claims and large awards, while obstetrician James Brown calls the premium rise a crisis. Legal expert Harry Waddell says few frivolous suits. State Supreme Court upheld a $2.5 million to $1 million cap on noneconomic damages.
