Today, H.R. 4984, the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act, passed out of the U.S. Senate by Unanimous Consent. The bill transfers control of the land to the District of Columbia for a term of 99 years, and allows for mixed-use development, including commercial, residential and a stadium.

“After more than two years of dedicated teamwork and collaboration, I couldn’t be prouder to see this bipartisan effort come to fruition. This legislation represents a tremendous opportunity to drive economic development to the RFK Stadium neighborhood. It has been an honor to work alongside Capitol Hill leaders from both sides of the aisle, the Mayor Muriel Bowser and her team, and the NFL on behalf of the Commanders to make this vision a reality,” said Matthew Cutts, head of US Policy and Government Relations at Dentons.

“This achievement is an example of true team partnership and unstoppable persistence in moving this forward and is not just a win for the city and the Washington Commanders, but for the entire region. I look forward to seeing the positive impact this project will have on our community and enjoying the exciting future that lies ahead for RFK.”

Other Dentons team members included, former Congressmen Joe Crowley and Jeff Denham, and principal Callie Fuselier.
