About me
Angie Rodgers is the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for Economic Development in the Office of Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. She provides leadership and oversight to 10 County-chartered, quasi- and independent agencies focused on business development and corporate attraction, affordable housing, parks, planning, tourism, small business growth and support, workforce development, and the arts. As DCAO, she has led the creation of a new holistic, equity-focused economic development platform that not only includes goals to grow jobs and the commercial tax base, but also includes the County’s first ever goals for affordable housing production and preservation. She leads the County’s pitch teams on large-scale business development/corporate retention and attraction efforts, including efforts to attract new federal agency leases. She also leads the County’s participation, including the deployment of public incentives, on large-scale real estate development projects.
With a track record of executing mixed finance transactions and large-scale development projects, Rodgers joined Prince George’s County from the District of Columbia where she most recently served as the Chief of Staff to the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED). Previously, she was the Director of the New Communities Initiative (NCI) in DMPED where she was responsible for the redevelopment of four public housing neighborhoods with a development potential up to 6,000 residential units and 100,000 square feet of commercial space.
Possessing a diverse background in affordable housing, real estate finance, policy research and public advocacy, Rodgers is adept at collaborating with regional and national stakeholders to implement innovative solutions to community challenges. She is committed to improving how we plan, design, finance, build and support communities that can deliver the same opportunities and benefits to people of all backgrounds, and can specifically move low-income households toward areas of opportunity rather than away from them.
She has a Bachelors degree (BA) in Government and African American Studies from Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT), and a Masters degree in Public Policy (MPP) from the University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley, CA).
