From the office of DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson:
“DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson announced today that the Committee of the Whole will hold a vote on the “Robert F. Kennedy Campus Redevelopment Act of 2025.”
“Today we’re scheduling a vote for Friday August 1, 2025 to consider the RFK campus legislation,” Mendelson said. “We’ve been working with the Washington Commanders for several weeks and we feel we have a much-improved agreement that would bring the team back to their historical home, as well as develop the land around the RFK campus.”
“It’s clear that the Commanders showed through their negotiations their commitment to the District. And their willingness to consider what’s in the best interest of our citizens. The process working with the Commanders has been extremely productive and they’ve been a cooperative partner.
“Overwhelmingly, residents have asked the Council for due diligence on this multi-billion-dollar deal. And under immense outside pressure to rush the process, I feel that, along with next weeks’ hearings, the Council will have what’s needed to move forward with a vote.”
The Committee of the Whole and the Committee on Business & Economic Development will hold a public hearing on the legislation on July 29 and a hearing with government and team officials on July 30.
