WASHINGTON — The District’s plan to redevelop the former Walter Reed Army National Medical Center in Northwest is moving forward but construction might not start any time soon.
A bill that would allow the District to purchase a 66-acre portion of the former hospital property passed out of committee on Tuesday. A final council vote is expected March 1. The city is expected to close on a deal with the site’s master developer within the year.
