Eastern Branch Boys and Girls Club Disposition Extension Approval Resolution of 2025

This resolution extends the deadline for the Mayor to sell the District-owned property at 261 17th Street, SE (the former Eastern Branch Boys and Girls Club) from December 5, 2024, to December 5, 2026. The extension is required to allow the developer, Morningstar Community Development, to secure final approvals for a zoning map amendment and additional zoning relief needed to proceed with redevelopment. The project plans to transform the site into 35 residential units (including 11 affordable units) and 2,500 square feet of community space. It directly affects the District government's property disposition timeline and the developer's project schedule.
