Leading the campaign for community benefits
in Southwest
As the District continues negotiations with DC United to bring a new soccer stadium to the Buzzard Point area in Southwest Washington, DC, CBCC, a part of the Winning Goal Coalition, has called for the inclusion of a Community Benefits Agreement as a part of any deal the City makes.
Spear-heading ideas for the Southwest small area impact plan
The Office of Planning (OP) has launched a planning process with area residents to create a Small Area Plan and community-led vision for the neighborhood of Southwest. This plan to create an urban design, land use, and neighborhood preservation framework will outline development in Southwest for the next 5 to 10 years. Spear-heading the planning throughout this process, CBCC participates on the SAP Advisory Committee, and has submitted an Open Letter to Mayor Vincent Gray outlining the priorities the Small Area Plan should address.
