Bill Analysis
The D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act (HR 4984) aims to facilitate the redevelopment of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium (RFK Stadium) campus in Washington, D.C. The legislation authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to engage in a comprehensive planning process for the revitalization of the 190-acre site, which has been largely underutilized since the stadium’s closure in 2019.
Key provisions of the bill include the establishment of a public-private partnership framework to promote investment and development on the RFK campus. The Secretary is empowered to enter into agreements with local governments, private entities, and community organizations to ensure that redevelopment efforts align with community needs and interests. The Act emphasizes sustainable development practices and aims to enhance public access to recreational spaces, cultural amenities, and community services.
Funding for the revitalization efforts will be sourced through federal appropriations, private investments, and potential revenue generated from the development activities. The bill encourages the involvement of the National Park Service (NPS) and the District of Columbia government in the planning and execution of the revitalization efforts, ensuring that local stakeholders have a voice in the process.
Beneficiaries of this legislation include local residents, community organizations, and visitors to the area, who will gain access to improved recreational facilities, green spaces, and cultural venues. The revitalization is also expected to stimulate economic growth through job creation and increased tourism.
The bill was enacted into law as Public Law No: 118-274 on December 29, 2023, marking a significant step towards the transformation of the RFK campus. The timeline for implementation will depend on the completion of planning and partnership agreements, with ongoing community engagement expected throughout the process.
