Poplar Point Development Plans
The National Park Service and the District of Columbia are committed to making sure that the public will be able to provide comments, opinions, and suggestions that should be addressed in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as the Poplar Point project proceeds.
The project will be most successful if it has the cooperative participation of community members. Direct public participation is encouraged throughout the EIS process, where numerous design alternatives will be developed and evaluated. NPS and the District will keep the community informed through public meetings, small groups meetings, small group meetings, newsletter, and this website.

Barry Farm (Re)Mixed
The Barry Farm that you know (the projects) is not the Barry Farm the author calls home--hence the purpose of the name of the blog, Barry Farm (Re)Mixed.
If you read it, then you'll know the author writes about Barry Farm and a little bit about the neighboring areas: Congress Heights and Anacostia... anything and everything goes. She tries to keep it positive and focused on the ongoing change of the neighborhood.
