“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development announces the selection of Reeves CMC Venture to redevelop the Frank D. Reeves Center of Municipal Affairs site.
. The project will also continue to honor the legacy to icons such as Frank D. Reeves and Mayor Marion Barry and preserve the legacy of Black Broadway. CSG Urban Partners, a resident, woman, and minority-owned business will lead the redevelopment. To date, this is one of the largest EquityRFP’s awarded by the District.
The Reeves Center site sits on the intersection of 14th and U Street Northwest, a historic crossroads directly linked to Black history and culture, the DC Home Rule movement, and civil rights activism. From the late 19th to mid– 20th centuries, this corner was in the heart of Black Washington, with U Street once serving as the home to more than 300 Black-owned businesses, including hotels, banks, offices, and theaters.
“Today marks yet another pivotal step towards preserving the deep, historically Black roots of the U Street corridor. The NAACP is deeply appreciative of the hard work and thoughtful consideration that Mayor Bowser and her team have committed to this project,” said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson.
