DEGC seeking developer for Capitol Park buildings

[esp1986]

I have no idea what the sentence, "Planned stops for a high-speed rail system are expected in the Capitol Park area" could mean. Stops? Plural? This makes it sound like it is going to be reverted into the de facto bus terminal that it used to be. And high-speed rail? Uh-huh.

That misconception aside, Capitol Park is a lovely setting with wonderful architecture surrounding a leafy park. it has a Manhattan feel. As mentioned above it offers some excellent residential opportunities. The Farwell with its large sky-lit atrium shaft would be particularly well suited.

Whatever happens I hope it succeeds, either becasue of or in spite of the DEGC.

A few months ago, they were considering routing the Light Rail Line through Capitol Park and down Washington Boulevard. The fact they are saying 'high-speed rail' makes it a different story entirely. Business leaders want the rail-line to be anything but high-speed.
