Alexandria to Host Waterfront Community Open House

On Wednesday, Dec. 3, from 6-8 p.m., the City will host a Waterfront Community Open House at the Lee Center, 1108 Jefferson St. in Alexandria. The public and all stakeholders are invited to attend, according to a news release from the City. Here’s more about the initiative, from the release:

The Open House will be organized to include the following:

• A program to review draft-proposed phasing options for Waterfront Implementation and to provide the community with an opportunity to express their priorities for implementation; and
• Exhibitor tables, accessible prior to and after the program, to provide the public with up-to-date information regarding public initiatives and private development projects planned at the Waterfront.

As background, on June 14, the City Council approved the Phase I Waterfront Landscape and Flood Mitigation Schematic Design.

As part of the approval process, the Mayor and City Council requested staff to return with a Phasing and Funding Plan.
