BY SUSIE CURRIE — At a ceremony at Busboys & Poets on November 30, Lt. Governor Anthony Brown announced that Hyattsville would receive a $350,000 Community Legacy Grant. It’s among the largest awards the state bestowed to fund 58 projects across the state. Hyattsville’s share will be used to demolish two auto shops at the east end of Hamilton Street near the railroad tracks in order to expand parking in the area. Customers are already finding a parking shortage at the Shoppes at Arts District Hyattsville; when hundreds more multi-family units now under construction are occupied, it’s likely to get worse.
