[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not surprised.
It was reported years ago that a lot of Potomac Yards was going to be redeveloped in the coming years. Despite this, new construction and refurbishment continued.

Years ago they tried to build St. James in Alexandria City. It was supported by many residents but at the last minute despite all kinds of reports from the right agency, and buy in from City officials, some environmental study or maybe it was some long ago forgotten historical situation prevented it. I would not be surprised if the same thing doesn't happen here.[/quote]

All of the land comprising Potomac Yard used to be a rail switching station and rail yard, so the ground was contaminated from trail chemicals, etc. Developers had to significantly remediate that land, including taking the dirt and burning it in an incinerator. I worked on the deal to turn the prior soccer fields and airport car rental lots into the residential park of Potomac Yards.

The part for this project would include all of PY shopping center, the strip mall.[/quote]
