ANOTHER CHURCH LOOKING TO REDEVELOP ITS SPACE

DC's First Congregational Church plans to redevelop its current site at 945 G St. NW in Gallery Place/Dowtown into a new church and condos, according to the Downtown Bid. The church is deciding whether to include affordable housing at the site or to donate some of the development funds for off-site affordable housing.



Regardless, PN Hoffman has signed a letter of intent to develop the condos. GPLiving recently wrote about this as well. More details about the project are here.

Its interesting how some church congregations stay in the city and try to reinvent themselves, such as Calvary Baptist Church also downtown. Others flee to Maryland. Still others fight with the "newcomers."
