Howard University Campus Plan Input
Howard University is seeking neighborhood input for its campus master plan. The university is planning to work with private partners to develop the parcels it owns between Georgia Avenue and Ninth Street. Currently, the plan is for a town center development with housing and shops, including a grocery store.
Nonetheless, there are Howard-owned properties in LeDroit Park and in other neighborhood and the university would like community input.
Take the survey and give the administration your two cents.
In our survey response, we wrote that encouraging the presence of a grocery store would benefit residents and students alike.
Is there a way to find out which properties in Ledroit are owned by the university? This would make a big difference in the reccommendations people give in the survey if they had an idea of what buildings and/or land were in question.
At this time, I don’t have a list, but the DC property database is searchable. If you leave every field blank and select “LeDroit Park” as the neighborhood, you can view a list of all the property (and property owners) in the neighborhood.
As a side note, I bought my house this year from Howard University, which no longer had a need for the place.
