Dear
Supporter,
The
exciting plans for reusing the McMillan Sand Filtration Site are moving
forward. CSG`s walking tour of the site last month let us learn about this
fascinating 25-acre site and plans to restore and celebrate historic features,
create generous parks, and provide a vibrant mix of homes, shops and medical
office buildings.
In
1905, the District of Columbia opened a state-of-the-art water purification
system just off Michigan Avenue, near today`s Washington Hospital Center. In 1985, the District replaced the facility,
leaving giant brick cylinders lined up in rows and 2100 manholes dotting the
grassy fields behind 10` chain link fences.
The plans by the city`s development team, Vision McMillan Partners,
need your input and support. We need to ensure that the effort moves forward
with a careful balance of affordable housing, a mix of uses that can make the
area vibrant and safe, and great public features like parks and historic
building restoration.
There
are many levels of public hearings and approvals that must take place before
McMillan redevelopment can move ahead.
One important factor in those approvals is the level of support expressed
by District residents. That`s where you can help!
Please
take two minutes now to email the D.C. Council and express your support for the
McMillan Redevelopment. It is very important that supporters make their views
known. Your voice does make a difference!

Thank
you!

You are kidding right?? Had you heard about this "little" flooding problem we are having directly downhill from this site?? More development is not what we need until our problems are fixed. So far the city has no solution prior to 2023 so no I have no trust in this plan at all.
