The District of Columbia Government (District) and the National Park Service (NPS) announced the launch of the Poplar Point Plan - a process that will guide redevelopment of 110-acres along the east side of the Anacostia River in Ward 8. Currently, the area features a mix of accessible open space, wetlands and natural areas, abandoned remains of former greenhouses and other government facilities, as well as NPS's current administrative and law enforcement facilities.
The redevelopment of Poplar Point will be determined through this planning process and ultimately include a mix of preserved and improved wetlands and natural areas, housing, community amenities, development uses, and improved connections between the site and surrounding areas.
The Poplar Point Plan is being developed in partnership between the District and NPS with input from the public and the surrounding communities of Wards 6, 7, and 8 to ensure redevelopment aligns with community and environmental needs.
This project builds on previous planning efforts by the District and NPS dating back more than twenty years. This kickoff offers the opportunity for both new and previously engaged members of the public to guide the plan for redevelopment. The planning process includes a Master Plan and Environmental Assessment, which are required to complete a land transfer between NPS and the District government.
The District and NPS encourage the public to participate in the planning process to shape Poplar Point's future. A virtual public meeting will be held on February 11, 2025, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This is an opportunity to learn more about the project and its phases, ask questions and find out how to stay engaged throughout the process.
