View this email in your browser THE COUNCIL HEARING IS ONLY TWO WEEKS AWAY Two weeks…14 days…336 hours…that’s it!  In just that short period of time, we will start the final piece of the approval process for the McMillan Sand Filtration site redevelopment project.  On Wednesday, November 12th, 10am at the Wilson Building, (1350 Pennsylvania Ave NW) District Council will have a Joint Committee Hearing on Surplus and Disposition of McMillan.  Council approval is the last piece of the puzzle.  It is essential that we show Council how strong the support is for a new McMillan Park.  We need you there with us standing by our side in attendance or testifying in support.  Your three minutes of testimony in support can help move this project forward after almost thirty years! To RSVP to attend the Surplus and Disposition Hearing in support of the project click here or contact Mike Cherry at 202-379-2819.  Public testimony is first and scheduled in the order that you register – so act now to minimize your wait.  Please also click here to send your written letter of support to the Council in advance of the hearing. 2ND MAYOR’S AGENT HEARING NEXT MONDAY On Monday, October 6th, we presented our case to the Mayor’s Agent.  Due to the complexity of the project, there is a continuation hearing scheduled for this Monday, November 3rd at 1100 4th St SW (4th Floor) at 9:30am.  The hearing will begin with public comment from community members in support of the project.  Please join us and show your support by providing testimony.  Contact Mike Cherry at 202-379-2819 or info@envisionmcmillan.com if you would like to testify.  Whether you can attend or not, please click here to send a brief letter to the Mayor’s Agent in support of the VMP plan for McMillan.
