Powell construction update meeting

May 29, 2015/ Drew

ANC 4C05 Commissioner Zach Teutsch sent out an email today about the construction at Powell Elementary. The DC Department of General Services will present on their progress with the Powell renovation project and the Twin Oaks construction at a meeting on June 11th at 6:15pm at Powell Elementary (1350 Upshur St NW).

Zach is hopeful that they will solicit community input about the design of the parking lot, as there has been vocal support for green screening and permeable paving for the parking lot.

Zach will followup with DGS to request they seek community input. If you have questions or concerns, contact Commissioner Teutsch.
