Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Shaw Main Streets meeting on New Development projects

Shaw Main Streets Annual Community Forum on New Development Projects will be held on Wednesday, September 28, 2005, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Immaculate Conception School, 711 N Street, NW.

Shaw residents have been waiting for years to learn what would rise from the rubble of the collapse of the historic O Street Market's roof. And at long last, a plan has been developed that the developers who control the property are ready to present to the community. This is only one of the many exciting new projects that will be discussed at this year's Shaw Main Streets Community Forum on New Development Projects.

Come hear about plans for development of long vacant lots along 7th, 8th, and 9th Streets; the redevelopment of the DC Housing Finance Agency headquarters at 815 Florida Avenue, NW; streetscape improvement projects in the neighborhood; and much more. For more information, contact Shaw Main Streets at 202-265-SHAW or email info@shawmainstreets.com.
