Yesterday Mayor Fenty joined Councilmember Muriel Bowser (Ward 4) and residents of the Brightwood neighborhood for a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of renovations of the abandoned housing project at 6425 14th Street, NW. The District partnered with Blue Skye Development to transform the vacant property into a new apartment building, eliminating a blight on the Brightwood neighborhood.

“The era of decaying conditions and neglectful ownership of this property has come to an end,” said Mayor Fenty “Today’s groundbreaking marks an important step toward welcoming more residents to this community through affordable housing and continuing our revitalization efforts up and down 14th Street.” Though this project has been referred to as the Brightwood Apartment Building, it is not the same project as this one. We were confused too!
