Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton's bill to transfer administrative jurisdiction over the RFK Stadium campus from the federal government to D.C. has passed the Senate. This paves the way for D.C. to redevelop the land for commercial, residential, or public purposes. The bill requires D.C. to reserve 30% of the campus for parks and prohibits development along the waterfront.

“Throughout my career in Congress, I’ve prioritized transferring unused federal land to D.C. or the private sector, enabling the redevelopment of neighborhoods, generating tax revenue and bringing much-needed space to the District.” An earlier House-passed version of the continuing resolution to keep the government funded included language to transfer the D.C. National Guard personnel and assets to the Maryland National Guard. In the version of the continuing resolution signed into law, the D.C. National Guard transfer was not included. The RFK Stadium bill was enacted as a stand-alone bill.
