Today's riddle: What do you call a paper airplane that can't fly? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. PG County real estate firm relocating HQ to Howard County (thedailyrecord.com) — One of Greenbelt's best-known employers, Bozzuto, will move its corporate headquarters to Howard County's Maple Lawn in early 2027, taking about 225 jobs with it. The company will, however, keep its Greenbelt office as a hub for corporate services, meaning some operations and employment will remain rooted in the city.
2. Paul VI's Glenn Farello, Visitation's Mike McCarthy Enter D.C.-Area Hall of Fame (newsbreak.com) — Greenbelt hoops fans will recognize Eleanor Roosevelt High School as the launching pad for Hall of Fame coach Glenn Farello, who led the Raiders to a Maryland 4A state title. The story traces his rise to national prominence at Paul VI and celebrates his induction alongside other D.C.-area basketball greats, underscoring the strong legacy of Greenbelt's own program.
3. NASA's SunRISE Mission Targets No Earlier Than Mid-2027 Launch (nasa.gov) — NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt is managing the SunRISE mission, now targeting no earlier than mid-2027 for launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy. The project will fly six small satellites to study solar radio bursts, strengthening Greenbelt's role in cutting-edge space weather research that helps protect satellites and astronauts.
4. City Council lauds Marilyn Mosby for 'eight years of distinguished service' (baltimorebrew.com) — A high-profile Baltimore criminal case could be shifted to the federal courthouse in Greenbelt, potentially bringing added media and legal attention to the city. Baltimore's City Council passed a resolution praising outgoing State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby while largely sidestepping her pending federal charges, even as she seeks to move her trial to Prince George's County.
5. Annual 'Roadcheck' spotlights vehicle and driver violations (safetyandhealthmagazine.com) — From a Greenbelt-based safety alliance, new results show that nearly one in five commercial trucks and buses inspected across North America during May's International Roadcheck were taken out of service, often for bad brakes or tires. For Greenbelt residents who share the roads with heavy trucks, the findings highlight why enforcement and equipment checks matter for everyday highway safety.
