On Thursday, February 11 at 6 p.m., Hilco Redevelopment Partners (HRP) will begin a series of online community engagement opportunities regarding the transformation of the former Potomac River Generating Site (PRGS) in the Old Town North area of Alexandria. HRP will seek to implement the approved Old Town North Small Area Plan, adopted by City Council in June of 2017.
The Old Town North Small Area Plan contains multiple improvements to the Mount Vernon Trail including additional trail access from Slaters Lane, filling the trail gap on East Abingdon, creating a separate pedestrian trail on the waterfront and establishing a linear park with multiuse paths on the current railroad tracks.

The community will be invited to provide feedback and ask questions throughout this community engagement process.
