Saint Elizabeth's Future

The current Hillscape column focuses on the southeast campus, and what may, or may not happen there. Hillscape is decidely downbeat on the topic, choosing to dwell on the bleakness that plagues much of DC once you cross the Anacostia. It seems almost inevitable that we will one day see development on the vast campus, and that the Kirkbride buildings that stand there will no longer hide behind their boarded windows (assuming the structures can be saved). Already attention is shifting to some areas south of the Anacostia, development will certainly come. The challenge is to bring opportunities and services, without driving out current residents.
