District of ColumbiaD.C. Council would approve a development plan for RFK campus
D.C. agencies would use the RFK campus plan to guide housing, parks, and transportation decisions, without committing city money to those projects.
What it does
The plan would guide development of 180 acres in Ward 7, including a goal of 5,500–6,500 homes. Approval would not commit city money to build the projects.
Argument forA shared plan could help city agencies and developers coordinate housing, parks, and travel routes for nearby residents.
Argument againstApproval alone would not fund projects, so residents could remain unsure when planned housing, parks, and transportation improvements would arrive.
More detail
The Council would approve the RFK campus plan to guide the Zoning Commission and other D.C. agencies. The plan covers the RFK campus in Ward 7 along the Anacostia River. The housing range is a planning goal, and approval would not commit city money to carry out the recommendations. If adopted, the resolution would take effect immediately.
