[Lincolnparkdc] FYI -- Future of RFK -- H.R. 4984 - Congressional Markup on NOW

[edna boone]

This is the only large parcel of public land left in DC and is river front tying to the soon to be updated Kingman Island project.  It can be housing, senior living, recreation center and sports fields, medical offices, and a river front park much of which are revenue generating or it can be a stadium and parking lots costing the city millions and used 8 times a year.

Also even though there is enough room, we won't get mixed use or the new recreation center with a new swimming pool that the Mayor promised. We'll get parking lots because you can't build a stadium without parking lots.

What’s wrong with a stadium? When I first moved to DC there were football games there, as there had been for four decades, without much fuss. When the Nats came to town, everyone in the neighborhood walked to games there without any complaints. There’s plenty of room for housing, development, mixed use, etc.

Yup, and the Mayor want a new stadium.
You might have to support Charles on this one.

Full Committee Business Meeting - United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability<https://oversight.house.gov/markup/full-committee-business-meeting-67/>
oversight.house.gov<https://oversight.house.gov/markup/full-committee-business-meeting-67/>


Wednesday at 10:00 AM the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability will debate the bill in a scheduled markup. (https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-announces-full-committee-markup/), announced by Chairman James Comer (R-KY). The bill would 'transfer the administrative jurisdiction' of RFK from the Secretary of the Interior to the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), allowing the city to revitalize the site. The bill would extend D.C.'s lease with the federal government for 99 years and would allow the city to pursue mixed-use development on the RFK site, which could include commercial properties, housing projects, or even a stadium.


Introduced Session
H.R. 4984
118th Congress
Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the District of Columbia Stadium Act of 1957 to provide for the transfer of administrative jurisdiction over the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus to the Administrator of General Services and the leasing of the Campus to the District of Columbia for purposes which include commercial and residential development, and for other purposes.
