The head of the D.C. Housing Authority selected the developers for a major Southwest D.C. project, but issues with the agency’s board are delaying negotiations.
The D.C. Housing Authority selected Pennrose, EYA and Bozzuto to redevelop the 15-acre Greenleaf Gardens Public Housing community, ultimately envisioned to feature more than 1,800 units, UrbanTurf reports.
DCHA submitted the selection to its Board of Commissioners this week, but the board rejected the resolution seeking to begin negotiations, saying the agency didn’t provide enough information on the team’s financing plans, the Washington City Paper reports.
It is the third time in two months DCHA Director Tyrone Garrett has failed to get the board’s approval for projects aimed at revitalizing the city’s public housing stock, according to the City Paper.
