The mayor hopes the long-neglected parkland will spring to life with houses, offices, shops, jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue.
The lead investor in D.C. United wants to build a soccer stadium for his team there, but city officials have put those talks on hold.
Fenty says the city wants to make sure it finds the right development partner, one that will be creative.
The city has set an October 19th deadline for proposals.
Officials aren't sure how many submissions they'll get.
