This tour will explore the potential for development around Branch Avenue Metro station in Prince George's County. We'll begin with a briefing at the Tribeca building, then walk through the land around the station and point out specific opportunities to transform this area into mixed-use and vibrant area. From there, we'll take the Metro to the Navy Yard station in DC, an area that has recently experienced extensive redevelopment. 

The Capitol Riverfront Business Improvement District will lead our discussion on the challenges Navy Yard faced and lessons learned during the process of turning this once underutilized area into a vibrant community. This case study will directly relate to the opportunities and challenges facing Branch Avenue
