Prince George’s County’s planning board weigh in on Kaiser’s Largo medical center expansion

The Prince George’s County Planning Board voted Thursday to approve the project, which would bring more space for care and parking to the health system’s medical center at 1221 Mercantile Lane. The vote — three in favor and one abstention — means Kaiser Permanente can start construction, which is slated for fall of this year and would take about 18 months to complete, according to Caroline Masikonde, the organization’s vice president of delivery system operations for D.C. and Maryland.
