[quote=Anonymous]Where GDS has to do some serious reappraisal is over the PUD plan. However well-intentioned the motivation, it's become an albatross. It's telling that Sidwell Friends School announced its own campus expansion near Tenleytown some 15 months after GDS launched its ambitious plans. Yet despite its much later start, Sidwell got all of its approvals last March, with no one from the community testifying in opposition. Meanwhile, GDS has faced much opposition and roadblocks from DC planning authorities. Perhaps the differences in outcome have to do with project size and scope and perhaps with the approach to community engagement. GDS needs to concentrate on the campus plan. The school has demonstrated they know how to educate children well, but the school leadership is operating out of its wheelhouse with taking on commercial development.[/quote]
