It is part of a larger regional expansion for the grocer.

The company’s announcement puts the Skyland Town Center project at risk.

Construction is slated to begin later this month, and the project’s first phase is scheduled to be done in mid-2018.

Nine months after the groundbreaking.

The first phase, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2017, will produce a Walmart and mixed-use building with retail space and 263 residential units.

You don’t often see elected officials destroy things with heavy machinery. But today, Mayor Vince Gray did just that.

As we noted yesterday, Walmart will add two more stores to its existing plans to construct four in the District in the coming years. Not surprisingly, that has some people very happy, and others very concerned.

For the first time since it launched six years ago, the D.C. Circulator will be crossing the Anacostia River and serving communities in wards 7 and 8.
