LRA Committee Approved Draft Final Reuse Plan

The Final Draft Plan for the reuse of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center Campus (WRAMC) is now complete. 

Representatives from the Local Redevelopment Authority, and the District spent months collaborating with the community and the reuse planning team, to collectively develop a plan that would best serve the needs of the community. 

Three public workshops and a Town Hall Meeting were held in order to engage citizens and gather their input. Residents of Ward 4 and adjoining neighborhoods were able to directly tell the representatives what they wanted to see included in the reuse plan. 

The Walter Reed Final Draft Reuse Plan provides a vision, framework, and detailed case for the reuse of 62.5 acres as a mixed use facility that will serve the community, the District, and the surrounding area, providing both economic growth and needed facilities. 

Stakeholders should submit written comments to the District at walterreedplan@dc.gov or 202.727.6703 (fax) no later than close of business on November 19, 2010.

Part of the Walter Reed Campus became available due to a federally-mandated Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process. The Local Redevelopment Authority lead by the District of Columbia's Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, and included community representatives, has engages in a planning process to prepare a plan in alignment with District, federal government, community, and BRAC goals.

This Final Draft Plan is a key component of the District's application to the Department of Defense and the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the successful conveyance of the property to the District. The Reuse Plan will serve as the preferred federal land use plan for the future development of the site.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

________________________________________________

What is the history of the WRAMC site?

Walter Reed General Hospital has been serving patients since May 1, 1909. The medical center, named in Major Walter Reed’s honor, was founded on principles that would integrate patient care, teaching and research. In nine decades, the hospital has grown into an innovative medical complex which had treated multiple thousands of wounded warriors. World War I saw the hospital’s capacity grow from 80 patient beds to 2,500 patient beds in a matter of months. Through World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, the facility treated hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Through the years, Walter Reed has added tenant institutions and facilities to its roster: Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Army Physical Disability Agency, and several smaller units. Walter Reed Army Medical Center (“WRAMC”) will continue to serve the military community until a complete transition of operations to Bethesda Naval Hospital can occur.

What area of the campus is a part of the Re-Use Planning Process?

After the May 2005 Base Realignment and Closure announcement for the complete downsizing of the WRAMC, the US General Services Administration and the US Department of State submitted claims for the Property. However, on March 25, 2009, the State Department notified the Army of its intent to reduce the acreage of the site previously requested. Subsequently, on August 7, 2009, the federal government declared 62.5 acres on the main post as surplus property, thereby making it available to a local redevelopment authority (“LRA”) for re-use.

When is the Army relocating?

In accordance with federal law, the Army’s mission at Walter Reed will cease in September 2011.

Why is the Walter Reed Re-Use Planning Process necessary?

As part of this BRAC process, the local community through a Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) must prepare a plan for reuse of the site in order to acquire a portion of the site for local use.

How do I register to participate in this process?
