Published Date: 3/25/2026
Notice
Summary
The National Park Service and the District of Columbia are teaming up to plan a big makeover of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium area. They want to build new homes, shops, parks, and better roads and transit near the Anacostia River. Everyone’s invited to share their thoughts by April 24, 2026, as this project could change the neighborhood and boost the local economy.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
DC and NPS Authorize RFK Mixed-Use Plan
The National Park Service and the District of Columbia are preparing an Environmental Impact Statement to support commercial and residential development at the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus under the DC Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act (Pub. L. 118-274). The Project explicitly aims to develop new mixed-income neighborhoods, commercial space, parks and open space, and a year-round pro-sports stadium area along the Anacostia River.
Commercial/Residential Uses Blocked Until Reviews Complete
A Declaration of Covenants recorded in the District land records on February 5, 2025 (Instrument No. 2025012660) says the Transfer Property may not be used for commercial or residential uses until the District completes the required planning and compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). That requirement pauses any commercial or housing occupancy or use until those reviews are finished.
Project Plans Street, Transit, Utility Improvements
The Project would improve and extend the existing street network, transit services, and related utilities to connect new commercial and residential development to the Anacostia River waterfront. The Environmental Impact Statement will analyze anticipated effects on transportation and utilities as part of its review.
