St. Elizabeths Project Public Outreach

On June 25, 2009, DC Water sent a letter to parties who had expressed interest in the project, as an invitation to become a consulting party for the St. Elizabeths project. The recipients included ANCs, historical groups, agencies of the District government and parks services, among others.
