From the agenda - one of four projects to be discussed.
McMillan Site Redevelopment: The 25-acre former McMillan Reservoir Sand Filtration
Plant site, bound on the north by Michigan Avenue, on the east by North Capitol Street, on
the south by Channing Street and on the west by First Street, is expected to be redeveloped
into a mixed-use project that will include historic preservation, open space, residential, retail,
office, and hotel uses. The goal is to create an architecturally distinct, vibrant, mixed-use
development that provides housing, employment, retail, cultural, and recreational
opportunities for District residents. The project will include affordable and workforce
housing, and 35 percent of the local contracting opportunities must go to Certified Business
Enterprises (CBEs). The capital improvements plan requests $48 million between FY2014
and FY20 17 to build site infrastructure.
I didn't see the Hearing Notice, so thanks for posting it. Indeed, McMillan is on the agenda!
Skyland is also on the agenda for Friday. It will be interesting to see how the Walmart announcement and the vote on the LRAA today will impact that project. (I don't think the Kroger purchase of Harris-Teeter will make waves for McMillan.)
