Realizing the Vision

Welcome to the Anacostia Waterfront! Here you will discover how the next "world class" Waterfront is being created and how it will improve the way you live, work and play - whether you live in Historic Anacostia, Crestwood, Palisades, Columbia Heights, Fairview or Deanwood, the transformation of the Anacostia Waterfront should be of interest to you.

With development projects underway and planned, the Anacostia Waterfront is the District of Columbia's fastest-growing area of employment, entertainment and residential growth. Substantial improvements to the Anacostia Waterfront's transportation network will improve access to the new and existing destinations while appropriately linking adjacent communities within the Washington metropolitan region.

Multiple agencies and thousands of stakeholders and residents worked together to develop the Anacostia Waterfront Framework Plan. Their continued cooperative efforts are essential as the District and others move forward in the implementation of numerous projects that help realize the vision for the waterfront.
