PROPERTY SURPLUS AT ST. ELIZABETHS EAST CAMPUS
Definition of Property Surplus: Property that is not required for a future government purpose. In order to support community development, the creation of affordable housing, and increased job opportunities, the Council has authorized the Mayor to dispose of District-owned real property that the Council has determined is no longer needed for public use; known as ‘property surplus’. Before the property can be defined as such, the District requires analysis, justification, public comments and formal surplus and disposition resolutions be prepared and presented to Council before such resolutions may be granted. The surplus resolution is used to determine that the real property is no longer required for public purposes. (D.C. OFFICIAL CODE §10-801)
