This is the third in a series of three forums hosted by the RMTF. Earlier we met with ANC commissioners from Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, and Glover Park to gain insight on their experience with ABC moratoriums. Last week we met with retailers and restaurateurs to hear their thoughts on increasing retail mix on 8th Street and the immediate blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue. Some issues were common to both discussions and tonight the representatives from the real estate community, CHAMPS and BRMS, will comment on these items.
