Ivy City Resilience Hub Eminent Domain Authority Act of 2025

This bill authorizes the Mayor to use eminent domain to acquire property at 1950 Capitol Avenue, N.E. in Ivy City (Ward 5) for a climate resilience hub. The hub would serve residents directly by providing year-round community services and emergency support during disasters, including power, communications, and resource distribution during climate-related disruptions. It addresses environmental injustices in Ivy City, which faces severe heat islands, flooding, and pollution, as identified in the District's 2022 climate report. The legislation specifically targets the Capitol Street Site to establish a hub where none currently exists in Ward 5, despite prior recommendations.
