Districts Move to Tax Benefits from Anacostia Reclamation
A House conference inserted a new clause in the District appropriation bill to assess benefits on District property whose value rises from the Anacostia reclamation. Assessments would target value added, not project cost, potentially sparing most large park lands yet sparking neighborhood opposition over perceived inequities. District officials estimate assessments will be far less than the project cost, though exact figures are unknown.
