In the mid-1990s, Wayne Curry conceived a revitalization plan for Suitland, which was part of a county-wide initiative to improve townships inside the Beltway. In 1997, the Prince George's County Redevelopment Authority purchased the Manchester Square housing project and worked to revitalize the area. While it did not result in a revitalized area, the town was still plagued with crime. Two elderly women were murdered in 2003, and the Federal Center's fence was replaced with a regular wrought iron fence.
