Potomac Yard Metrorail Station Community Open House Set for Next Week

The City of Alexandria will hold its second Potomac Yard Metrorail Station Community Open House next Wednesday, April 8, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Charles Houston Recreation Center (901 Wythe Ave).

Staff will be present to assist the public in learning about potential environment impacts related to wetlands, Greens Scenic Area Easement, City Parkland, National Park Service land, visual resource and cultural resources. This open house will have no formal presentation.

The DEIS document is available on the Potomac Yard Development webpage and at several City facilities: a complete list can be found online.
