PRESS RELEASE: New Beltsville Facility for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Looks To Start Construction in 2024
New Beltsville Facility for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Looks To Start Construction in 2024
Numerous construction and trade jobs will be created providing local businesses contracting and employment opportunities
Beltsville, MD – The construction for the new Prince George's County-based location for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will begin late next year, but the progress is still moving forward. The 104-acre site at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) will house a new state-of-the-art and environmentally conscious production facility to print U.S. paper currency and other federal security products.
Before construction can begin very late in 2024, the existing buildings on the site will be removed to clear the way for the new economic opportunity the BEP brings to Prince George's County.
"Increasing the presence of the federal government's real estate assets (both owned and leased) and jobs in Prince George's County is a priority of the EDC's strategic plan to grow the local economy," said David K. Lewis, PGCEDC Director of Business Development, Government. "For example, relocating the Bureau of Engraving and Printing currency production facility from Washington, DC to Beltsville will bring 1,286 full-time jobs to the county, paying an average salary of $99,000. That is purchasing power for sales at restaurants, retail shops, housing, etc., to support the local economy.
"Also, for the three years it will take to construct the one-million square foot facility, many construction and trades jobs will be created where local businesses and their employees will have contracting and employment opportunities. And then there will be ongoing services contracted out for maintenance work such as grounds keeping services. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing will also spend millions of dollars to improve the infrastructure of the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center campus such as providing for road improvements."
Construction of the new facility – managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District – is anticipated to be completed by early 2027, per a Maryland Department of Commerce press release, with currency production starting mid-year.
"County Executive Angela Alsobrooks has been a consistent advocate for the BEP's move to Prince George's County," said David Iannucci, President and CEO of the Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation. "We take pride in knowing that Prince George's County will be one of only two locations in the country where U.S. currency is printed. Increasing the number of federal jobs, and federal investment, in the county have long been a key part of our strategic focus for growing the county's economy. This $1.4 billion facility will be a meaningful part of future growth here."
The BEP expects to house at least 850 on-site workers, with 600 additional employees working remotely.
As previously reported by Maryland Commerce, building a new production facility in Beltsville will result in cost savings and efficiencies for the BEP and shorten the commute for the 65 percent of Bureau employees already living in Maryland.

Largo, MD – Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation President and CEO David Iannucci joined Maryland Secretary of Commerce Kevin Anderson for a VIP tour of the new National Capital Business Park in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
The National Capital Business Park is one of the most significant development opportunities in the DMV. National Capital Business Park (“NCBP”) is a 3.5 million square feet of Class A industrial buildings designed to meet regional distribution, cold storage, manufacturing, and data center users.

"Economic Gardening" Initiative Programs Focus on BIPOC and Women-Owned Businesses
Largo, MD – Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation launched Grow Prince George's, an "Economic Gardening" initiative. The program is a comprehensive training series to support Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color (BIPOC) women and Latino entrepreneurs in Prince George's County. Participants will gain valuable knowledge and skills to enhance their entrepreneurial journey and achieve business success.
Grow Prince George's is not just another initiative. It's an "economic gardening" collective specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of established small to mid-sized firms that have surpassed the startup phase and are seeking strategies to propel their growth to new heights.
"Under the Grow Prince George's banner, PGCEDC has produced several training programs that have positively impacted the BIPOC, Latino and Women-owned entrepreneurial community of Prince George's County," said Ebony Stocks, PGCEDC Executive Vice President. "With a varied focus on multiple underserved areas of economic development, this initiative is how we Grow Prince George's. Expansion starts here."

Economic Gardening® is the country's oldest and best-tested entrepreneurial economic development program. In 1987, Chris Gibbons and Jim Woods brainstormed a groundbreaking idea: develop an entrepreneurial approach to economic development. At the time, the standard practice was to recruit companies from other communities, called economic hunting. The unconventional thesis suggested that economic developers could stay home and help local entrepreneurs grow their companies, known as economic gardening.
"Grow Prince George's utilizes Economic Gardening which differs from Economic Hunting because it focuses on nurturing and growing existing local businesses rather than actively seeking out and attracting outside companies," said Kimberlee Andrews, PGCEDC Small Business Manager. "This approach fosters sustainable economic development by investing in the community's resources, talent, and innovation, leading to long-term prosperity."
The program's ultimate goal is to cultivate a thriving business ecosystem in Prince George's County, where small and mid-sized businesses of all backgrounds can flourish. We strive to provide inclusive growth opportunities, breaking down barriers that hinder access to technical support services and technology tools due to cost.
This program supports BIPOC and women entrepreneurs, ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed.
