From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

WHAT: The Redevelopment Authority’s Groundbreaking Ceremony for Prince George's County’s newest Net Zero Energy House

WHEN: Friday, November 6, 2015, at 12:30 p.m.

WHERE: 3719 – 34th Street, Mt. Rainier, MD

WHO: Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III, along with state, county and city elected officials

The Redevelopment Authority of Prince George's County (RDA), along with its partners Urban Green, LLC, Monument Bank, and the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development will break ground for the County’s newest net zero energy (NZE) house. This modern, energy efficient single family home will produce as much energy on an annual basis as it consumes leaving the homeowners with a utility bill of zero. The NZE home demonstrates that it’s a profitable product for any commercial homebuilder/developer to reproduce throughout the County. NZE homes are cheaper to operate and maintain (designed for zero cost energy usage) and they are healthier homes to occupy. The home will be built with an exterior that blends into the early 20th century designs of the surrounding community.

Mayor Malinda Miles

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
