From the Mayor’s Office:

“Today, having confirmed that congressional leaders appended the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act (H.R. 4984) to the continuing resolution to extend federal spending, Mayor Muriel Bowser released the following statement:

“As a city, we have worked for years toward the opportunity to transform a vacant, blighted sea of asphalt in the heart of DC and to put the RFK campus back to productive use. Today, we are pleased and grateful to congressional leaders for advancing this critical bipartisan legislation that recognizes the potential of the land. And the potential is great – for housing and jobs; for sports, recreation, and an entertainment district; for green space, better connections to the river, and monumental views of our Nation’s Capital. The future of the RFK campus will benefit residents and visitors alike, and our vision for the renaissance and development of more than 170 acres of waterfront space will benefit the entire region.
