Ivy City-Trinidad Community Revitalization Strategy
Ivy City-Trinidad Community Revitalization Strategy
Washington, DC
Mr. Gross led a consulting team working for the Washington, D.C. Office of Planning on a revitalization strategy for “Cluster 23,” which includes the Ivy City, Trinidad, Carver Terrace, Langston, and Arboretum neighborhoods, located within sight of the U.S. Capitol. This work included market analysis, identification of specific redevelopment concepts, and revitalization strategies. He assessed market conditions and forecasted potential. He also determined the need and opportunities for affordable and mixed-income housing. Further, he recommended appropriate re-development, marketing/promotion, organization structuring, management, public policy/regulatory, entrepreneurial, and financing strategies as part of the overall plan. The plan also addresses economic development, amenities, traffic, design, and other opportunities for this long-neglected community in northeast Washington.
