2,800-Acre Waterfront Initiative Plan Finalized and Immortalized

WASHINGTON, DC-The Anacostia Waterfront Initiative Framework Plan becomes more tangible, literally, with the recent National Building Museum unveiling of a scale-model of the 2,800-acre planned revitalization project.

The model offers a visual layout of the 25-year plan to centralize the city around the river. The initiative itself was finalized and presented officially last month. Upon completion, the Anacostia Waterfront area will be a city within a city, with everything from residential to commercial offerings. “The AWI Plan is more than just a vision for the waterfront,” DC Mayor Anthony A. Williams explains. “It’s is a vision for 21st-century Washington with the Anacostia River at its center.”
