Subject: Brookland Green Has Been Saved!

Good Evening, 
   
  A quick note to inform everyone that the "Brookland Green" will be retained.   
  Councilman Kenyan McDuffie and the Office of Planning have been able to work  
  with the necessary city officials to SWAP the land at Brookland Station,  
  "Brookland Green", to an alternate site.  The following is an excerpt from the  
  letter sent to WMATA from Councilman Kenyan McDuffie on behalf of the citizens  
  dated December 17, 2013: 
   
  ..I request that WMATA amend its solicitation to generate proposals that  
  preserve the Brookland 
  Green. Revising the solicitation now, rather than waiting for an initial round  
  of proposals to be 
  submitted, would set this project on the right path from the beginning. Indeed,  
  I believe it would 
  be counterproductive to encourage and allow developers to submit proposals that  
  include the 
  development of the Brookland Green. Instead, an amended solicitation should be  
  circulated and 
  proposals should only be deemed responsive if they preserve the Brookland  
  Green... 
   
   
  The RFP process for the WMATA Brookland/CUA Development will continue excluding  
  the Brookland Green area. 
   
  Thank you.
