I have been telling our communities that each brings a different value to the heritage area. Since Greenbelt wasn't part of this study, I am at a bit of a loss to be able to bring them into the mix, but my GUESS would be that Greenbelt and College Park (as I have told others) have the best opportunity to be a great retail location, while others (as this report notes) have strong ability to be a niche market bringing high quality community ammenties - Riversdale Mansion coupled with the Farmers Market coupled with a walkable community (for example). Hyattsville's Arts District combined with its historic district is another example. There is quite a bit here - but it looks like a GREAT document for all of the communities in the region.
