Reeves Center Property Swap Details Revealed by DGS

The head of the DC Dept. of General Services revealed on Tuesday, Dec. 17, the proposal for the swap of properties that includes the Reeves Center in order to facilitate the building of a new soccer stadium.  Residents and businesses weighed in to advocate for an office building rather than the proposed mixed use building.  CM Graham expressed his support for an office building that would retain the current Post Office and the DC Center.  Click here to see the slideshow presentation that was shared with the community.  It includes a timeline for the proposed project.  The proposal will be submitted to the DC Council by Dec. 31 along with some enabling legislation.

Salvage Yard May Stop Reeves Center Swap for Stadium Plans

By now you may have heard that WAMU discovered that there is a salvage yard located right smack dab in the middle of the proposed soccer stadium.  The company has been there for decades and is owned by its employees.  There are 10-20-30 foot stacks of metal that would have to be moved...except that the owners do not want to move. 

The Council has til January 1 to review the proposal...stay tuned for more updates...

DC Center Slated for Reeves Center

I am pleased to announce that the DC Center is moving into the Reeves Center at 14th and U after negotiations with a proposed restaurant have failed.  The ANC supported the intent of the DC Center to locate at the Reeves Center but then learned that a restaurant had been selected to occupy the available space.  The DC Center is celebrating its Tenth Anniversary and I am glad that they will be part of the municipal center serving the LGBT residents of the District.  Click here to review their 10 year timeline. 

Congratulations and Good Luck in your new location!
