Mayor Muriel Bowser celebrates the inclusion of the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act in the continuing resolution extending federal spending. The legislation aims to transfer administrative jurisdiction of the RFK Stadium campus from the federal government to D.C. for up to 99 years, allowing for its revitalization and development.
Today, after congressional leaders added the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act (H.R. 4984) to the continuing resolution extending federal spending, Mayor Muriel Bowser issued the following statement: As a city, we have worked for years to transform a vacant, blighted area of asphalt in the heart of DC and put the RFK campus back to productive use.
Today, we are pleased and grateful to congressional leaders for advancing this critical bipartisan legislation that recognizes the potential of the land. The potential is great – for housing and jobs; for sports, recreation, and an entertainment district; for green space, better connections to the river, and monumental views of our Nation’s Capital. The future of the RFK campus will benefit residents and visitors alike, and our vision for the renaissance and development of more than 170 acres of waterfront space will benefit the entire region. We especially thank Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton for her relentless dedication to advocating for our city. We also extend our appreciation to the more than a dozen cosponsors whose support has been instrumental. We thank Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee whose steadfast leadership and unwavering commitment have been pivotal in advancing this legislation. We are also grateful to Chairman Bruce Westerman of the Committee on Natural Resources for his effective guidance in bringing this bill to the floor. Finally, we appreciate the support of our partners in Maryland for their collaboration in strengthening the vitality of our region. Transferring administrative jurisdiction over the RFK Stadium campus from the federal government to D.C. for up to 99 years has been included in the text of the continuing resolution (CR), released today. If passed before Friday’s funding deadline, the CR will allow the federal government to avoid a shutdown
