Victor Hoskins, who previously served as the District of Columbia’s Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, will become the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer (DCAO) for Economic Development and Public Infrastructure effective June 16. Hoskins will work alongside Assistant Deputy Chief Administrative Officers David Iannucci and Brad Frome.

“We wanted somebody who would be instantly recognizable by the business community,” said County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III. “I’m very excited about getting Victor to come over to Prince George’s County. He is phenomenal for us.”

Baker said the county has several big projects that could benefit from Hoskins’ experience. Among them will be redeveloping five county Metro sites. Hoskins also worked closely with federal agencies, including the General Services Administration, which will come into play as the county seeks to lure the FBI and its new headquarters to Prince George’s.
