ANC 3/4G Special Meeting with DMPED

June 4, 2026

On Thursday, June 4, ANC 3/4G held a Special Meeting at the Chevy Chase Community Center at which the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) had been invited to answer questions from the commission and the community regarding the redevelopment of the Civic Core.

The ANC had arranged for recording equipment to make the meeting available as a hybrid/online meeting, but unfortunately a last-second change in meeting location beyond our control prevented the equipment from being set up. I quickly arranged for the recording below. Although the video was recorded on a handheld cell phone, I believe the quality is adequate to allow those who were unable to attend to get a good idea of what transpired at the meeting.

The recording is a little under 2 hours long. There is a 2-minute gap around the 14-minute mark due to a technical glitch, but the full audio is intact and nothing was removed.

I have my own take on the meeting, but please watch the video and you be the judge. If you want to discuss the meeting or other issues concerning the Civic Core, I encourage you to reach out to me. I really do want to hear your views.
