Thousands of new market-rate and affordable homes, stores, offices, and public spaces have grown up on vacant, under-used D.C. government-owned land over the past decade.

District schools and libraries have undergone a building boom, but they've been built as stand-alone facilities, rather than mixing housing, retail or other uses.

What is D.C.'s record on getting the most from private development of city land? Do these development projects meet D.C. residents' needs? How can public land deals deliver more affordable housing and other benefits for residents? What are the successess, disappointments, and future opportunities for city land redevelopment and joint development of these kinds of public facilities?

Join CSG at its latest forum, Public Land for Public Good: What D.C. Can Achieve with Mixed-Use Development on Public Lands, to discuss these questions with the city's leading actor and thinkers.

Panelists:

	D.C. Deputy Mayor Victor Hoskins
	Ginnie Cooper, Chief Librarian, DC Public Library
	Jalal Green, housing official & mixed-income housing developer
	Mary Filardo, Executive Director, 21st Century School Fund
