OPM is convening a public meeting on the future of the first floor of the Reeves Center at 14th and U Streets, NW.

The Reeves Center has long been a hub for the U Street Corridor. Dedicated in honor of noted civil rights lawyer Frank D. Reeves (1916-1973), the building, particularly the lobby/atrium, has not shared the recent revival of U Street. OPM wants to collaborate with interested parties, including current and potential future users, to make the Reeves Center a new draw for the District with a wide range of activities, such as retail, government and other services.

The following topics will be considered: elevator and escalator use, security, landscaping, animation of sidewalk and the inner courtyard, compliance with ADA requirements, retail and other services and transportation, including connections to nearby bus and Metro service. 

Residents, local businesses, elected officials, community leaders and District employees are all encouraged to participate.
