Walter Reed AMC
Abstract
The Walter Reed Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) is requesting grant assistance from the Office and Economic Adjustment (OEA) for the protraction of contractual and operational services to support the planning, legal negotiations, and property conveyance of 66.57 acres of the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center from the US Army to the District of Columbia. Since its closing in 2011, the Walter Reed Local Redevelopment Authority has committed to completing all transactions to obtain LRA property. The completion of this transaction and the support of the Office of Economic Adjustment will be critical to the continued planning and redevelopment of the Walter Army Medical Center (WRAMC). The redevelopment of the campus will achieve the four goals set in the Reuse Plan: 1) Integrating the site with the community; 2) Providing a mix of uses; 3) Creating jobs and revenue for the District of Columbia; and 4) Activating the site. The 3.1M square foot mixed use redevelopment will include over 2,100 housing units, affordable housing for a broad range of incomes and for formerly homeless veterans and seniors, a new town center anchored by a large format grocer and retail opportunities, a new charter school, fire station, preservation of historic buildings, the Great Lawn and over 14 acres of open space.
