The Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation is saddened to hear of the passing of David Harrington; indeed, it is a sad day for Prince George's County. Today, we recognize and salute this giant of a person who was a coalition-builder, a visionary and an advocate for Prince George’s County, its business community and its residents.
Not only did Harrington revitalize the way the County does business as president of the Prince George's County Chamber of Commerce, he and was also a longtime advocate for healthy communities, introducing the Wellness Opportunity Zone in Prince George’s County.
“David Harrington was a relentless advocate for the business community of Prince George’s County,” said David Iannucci, President and CEO of Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation. “He will be greatly missed for his passion, his commitment and his focus on making Prince George’s County the premier location for business growth. One word that I heard from many colleagues who were startled and saddened by his passing was that he had been a mentor for almost a generation of young Prince George’s County entrepreneurs and business leaders.”
A staunch advocate for the businesses of Prince George's County, Harrington was a beacon of light for all County business owners and a champion of Black businesses to get in the game and thrive. The Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation extends its deepest sympathies to the family of David Harrington and celebrates a life well lived.
