This study evaluates the current environmental and market constraints and conditions of the Henson Creek Village area and its potential to attract and support new commercial and residential investment. Henson Creek Village is a 159-acre area of land in southern Prince George’s County within Planning Area 80. The study area is located west of MD 210 (Indian Head Highway), north of Old Fort and Oxon Hill Roads, and east of the Tor Bryan Estate subdivision.
