Malcolm X Extension of Disposition Authority and Term Sheet Amendment Act of 2025
This bill extends the deadline for disposing of District-owned property at 1351 Alabama Avenue SE (Ward 8) from two to four years, until March 2027. It amends the development agreement to require 180 affordable rental housing units (for households earning 30-60% of median income), 7,500 sq ft of daycare space, 2,000 sq ft of retail space, and 43 parking spaces. The extension is needed because a highway restriction on the property - resolved in December 2024 - delayed development progress under the original timeline. The project directly affects Ward 8 residents by creating mixed-use affordable housing with community-serving spaces.
