Metro will proceed with joint development in New Carrollton | Baltimore Business Journal

Despite the arrest of Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson on corruption charges, the head of joint development for the D.C. Metro said the agency is moving "full speed ahead" with its search for a development partner at New Carrollton, a site that has attracted national attention for its potential as a large-scale, mixed-use, transit-oriented development.

Steve Goldin, director of real estate at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, said the barrage of negative headlines over the FBI investigation won't hamper progress.

"I can confidently predict that the incoming county executive and council members know that we are at a crossroads of opportunity in Prince George's County and together we are all determined to move past this incident to create jobs for residents and revenue and ridership for Metro,"
