Also on Tuesday, both panels unanimously approved the surplus and disposition of the 25-acre McMillan Sand Filtration Site for redevelopment by Trammell Crow, EYA and Jair Lynch Development Partners. Like D.C. United, McMillan now heads to the full council, where it is expected to pass. Bowser said that she is "pleased it is moving forward."
