After announcing its Georgetown 2028 Plan last year, the Georgetown Business Improvement District is continuing its ambitious efforts to bring new facilities and amenities online in Georgetown.
An article by Lavanya Ramanathan introduces the new vision for Georgetown—"Future Georgetown," as the article calls it—imagined by the Georgetown Business Improvement District.

An interactive feature accompanies the article, mapping out the locations of the proposed investments. The main article provides plenty of detail about what the individual components of the plan would bring to the neighborhood.
The main article also explores the plausibility of change in Georgetown, which is infamous for its reluctance to change and its political support of historic preservation.
