Union Market continues to experience remarkable growth. New residential communities, businesses, restaurants, and public spaces have transformed our neighborhood into one of Washington, DC’s most dynamic destinations. While this progress is exciting, growth should always benefit the people who already call this community home.
Responsible development means balancing new opportunities with the needs of current residents. It means ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with growth, supporting local businesses, improving transportation, and preserving the unique character that makes Union Market such a special place.
As your ANC Commissioner, I will advocate for thoughtful planning that prioritizes community well-being. Development decisions should be transparent, inclusive, and made with meaningful input from residents.
Our goal should not simply be growth—but smart, sustainable growth that creates safer streets, stronger neighborhoods, and a higher quality of life for everyone.
By working together with residents, businesses, and local agencies, we can ensure Union Market continues to grow while remaining a welcoming, inclusive community for generations to come.
