WAMU News Raises Questions About Donatelli Development/Blue Skye Construction
Partnership Was Sole Bidder on Prime Reservation 13 Parcels
by Larry Janezich
WAMU News is running a four part series on the relationship between DC developers, city officials, and campaign contributions. Donatelli/Blue Skye are prominently featured in the first two stories, linked below. Coincidentally, Donatelli/Blue Sky and city officials will meet with Hill East residents tonight to discuss the developer’s plans for the two prime parcels of land adjacent to the Stadium-Armory Metro stop on Reservation 13. The ANC 6B Hill East Task Force is hosting tonight’s meeting from 6:30pm – 8:00pm at St. Coletta of Greater Washington, 1901 Independence Avenue, SE.

Please note that the Hine Project appears in the “Explore Donations” link. So glad WAMU is gathering all the parts together into one larger story. So far it’s just been neighborhood activists addressing one project on a case-by-case basis, and the ranks of the GGW and various Chamber of Commerce “new urbanists” trying to shout them down.
