Open house set on Sept. 18 for Whitehall redevelopment plan

The City of Washington will hold a public open house to discuss the preparation of the Southwest Washington Redevelopment Plan to improve conditions in the blighted areas of the Whitehall area.

The open house is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, September 18, at the Reese J. Booker Park Recreation Center off Whitehall Street.

The open house will include a presentation by the CSRA Regional Development Center about how the Southwest Washington Urban Redevelopment Plan will benefit city residents.

The redevelopment plan is being prepared in partnership with the CSRA Regional Development Center to achieve the following goals: promote housing redevelopment through home-ownership; improve street utilities; abate nuisance (dilapidated) properties; promote neighborhood commercial investment; and to provide home-ownership and credit-counseling opportunities.

The redevelopment planning area includes portions of Washington roughly bounded by Lexington Avenue and Liberty Street to the north, 42nd and Spring Street to the east, and the southern and western municipal limits.

A draft of the Southwest Washington Urban Redevelopment Plan and a map of the redevelopment planning area can be viewed at Washington City Hall, 103 E. Liberty Street; or, at: www.csrardc. org/ csra/planning/planningreview. asp.
