June Meeting Recap

NCPC approved final site and building plans submitted by the United States Army Corps of Engineers for two new Unaccompanied Enlist Personnel Barracks at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Ft. Myer, Virginia. The Commission praised the applicant’s design and coordination with NCPC staff. 

The Commission approved final site development plans submitted by the National Park Service for the Texas Legation Memorial, which will be located in an existing planter bed on the 600 block of Indiana Avenue, NW.   

In the first of two information presentations, NCPC staff and the DAVID RUBIN Land Collective updated the Commission on the Pennsylvania Avenue Initiative’s efforts to develop a New Pennsylvania Avenue Plan that will reinvigorate and transform the Avenue. NCPC staff also provided an update on the Changing Federal Footprint project, a partnership with the Public Buildings Reform Board, focused on the findings of a jointly sponsored ULI Washington Technical Assistance Program (TAP). The TAP provides a roadmap for the redevelopment of the James V. Forrestal Building, which could unlock redevelopment of other federal assets, particularly in Southwest Washington.
