Is revitalization without gentrification possible? In Washington, D.C., new development and investment has followed a familiar pattern for the last two decades, with neighborhoods getting younger, wealthier, and whiter. Kennedy Street NW appears next in line for this fate. The Kennedy Street Development Association (KSDA) is a diverse all-volunteer group committed to the street’s comeback, but in a way that benefits everyone.  Myles G. Smith, KSDA volunteer, presents the community-oriented revitalization plan for an inclusive hometown main street.
