The Development Fight Tearing Chevy Chase Apart
There’s an epic fight over the redevelopment of the public library in Chevy Chase —- a fight that involves affordable housing, NIMBYism and historic preservation. The Washington Post’s Meagan Flynn is here to explain why it might give a glimpse into the future of development in D.C.
After the interview, senior executive producer Priyanka Tilve joins for a conversation sponsored by Alliance Francaise, about the organization’s exciting summer opportunities.
