Here is an research paper on Albertson's and its turnaround strategy to what it is today. A little dated but could provide some insight on who they are and the market that they are targeting.

Sounds like it was originally like Giant used to be.

Default Prince George’s wants to lure science and tech jobs with incentives

This article relates to Northern Prince George's County. The article speaks to what I have been saying should happen all along. Finally someone realizes the potential with the growing momentum of research and science entities in the northern part of the county.

Quote:
Prince George’s County lawmakers are considering a measure to create a special business district that officials say would improve the county’s ability to lure science and technology jobs through incentive programs. The proposed science and technology district covers a large portion of northwestern Prince George’s that includes College Park, Greenbelt and Beltsville.
Quote:
The area considered for the district is already a center for climatology, space industries, and agriculture-related sciences. In Greenbelt, there is NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, a major research laboratory established in 1959. Just a few miles away in College Park is the new National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Center for Weather and Climate Prediction, a world-class center considered the backbone of weather and climate prediction for the nation.


The area also is home to the University of Maryland, the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and a 110-acre site where Howard University plans to develop a research park.
The article failed to mention the many research entities in M-Square:

Quote:
Key technology clusters at the park include: environmental and earth sciences (NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction, Joint Global Change Research Institute, and Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center); food safety and agriculture policy (USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, UMD/FDA Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, and FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition); and language and national security (Center for Advanced Study of Language, National Foreign Language Center, Raytheon, and Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity).

Default Speaking Of West Hyattsville.....

Looks like West Hyattsville may get some development activity in the next few years:

Quote:
Metro's Planning, Program Development and Real Estate committee voted March 13 to adopt the proposed 2014 joint development work program, which will include requests for proposals for developable parcels at the Forest Glen station in Montgomery County, the West Hyattsville and Largo Town Center stations in Prince George's County, and the Braddock Road station in Alexandria.


The four were selected on the basis of market strength, developer offers and interest, adjacent projects and consultation with local economic development officials, said Stan Wall, Metro's director of real estate and station planning.


"We have a lot of high expectations about success in all four of these areas," said Metro Board Chairman Tom Downs.
Quote:
A 28-acre site at West Hyattsville will leverage development momentum at Fort Totten to the west and Prince George's Plaza to the east. Any development here will "maximize the site's development potential while also creating a sustainable community" given its close proximity to Sligo Creek and the Anacostia trail system.

They also mentioned Largo which should get a push from the new hospital. They also mentioned a solicitation coming out for Branch, Capital Heights, and College Park in the next month or so. It will be interesting to see how this evolves over the next five years.
