Alexandria Planning Commission Hosts
Potomac Yard Community Meeting

The Alexandria Planning Commission has scheduled a Community Meeting on the proposed development of Potomac Yard for June 7 at 5:30 pm. The meeting will be held in Council Chamber, City Hall, 301 King St.

The June 7 meeting is the fourth in a series of meetings being held by the Planning Commission to provide opportunity for residents to learn about development plans for the site and to provide input. This meeting will focus on the site plan for landbay H, the area adjacent to and north of the Swann Avenue extension. The Planning Commission will serve as the forum for community input to enable all interested residents to participate together. Representatives from nearby community groups and all interested residents are encouraged to attend and participate.

In addition, the Potomac Yard Design Advisory Committee (PYDAC) will hold its fourth meeting on the project in June, with details still to be announced. PYDAC will be reviewing plans for conformance with the adopted concept plan. The public is welcome to attend.
