John Salatti - Community Meeting on the McMillan Sand Filtration Site Development

See this message from ANC 5C04 Commissioner John Salatti as posted to the Bloomingdale listserv on September 1, 2009.


A few weeks ago, I announced a community meeting about the McMillan Sand Filtration Site. But because a number of key people were not able to make that date, I postponed the meeting. But now with the help of a new host committee, the meeting has been rescheduled and revamped into a series of meetings.


So on behalf of the host committee consisting of several ANC commissioners, community associations, and residents, I invite you to the attend the first of these meetings to discuss the future of the Sand Filtration Site. This meeting is set for Wednesday, September 9, 2009 at St. George's Episcopal Church, at 2nd & U Streets, NW, starting at 7:00 p.m.


This first meeting will cover some history, the results of a previous community input process in 2000, a slide show of the site, the current development plan that has been discussed over the last year, and other options for developing such a site. While this meeting will mainly present broad information, it will lay the foundation for succeeding ones, which will cover more technical issues and offer ways for participants to develop a consensus for what they would like to see happen at the site.


Because the future of the Sand Filtration Site is a complex issue and sometimes contentious, we will have a professional facilitator who will run the meetings.


Also, come early. St.George's only seats about 100 people!


If you have any questions, please let me know.
