The Washington Business Journal recently reported that the DC Council approved future funding for the Explore! Children’s Museum, which is planned for the second phase of the Art Place at Fort Totten development. If true, this is good news for the Cafritz Foundation. The $1 million grant is earmarked for 2023. The second phase of the development is expected to be all or mostly commercial. Besides the children’s museum, other expected uses for the second phase include a grocery store, theater, work space, and additional commercial uses. The Foundation must file its plans for the second phase with the Zoning Commission in September. There will be an ANC 5A meeting on August 1, 2018. More information will be provided there.
