Groundbreaking on a new Aldi
There was a ceremonial ground breaking Saturday near the Fort Totten Metro station, where the Lamond Riggs neighborhood is getting a 24,000 square feet Aldi grocery store, the largest in the district. Phase 2 of development promises more for culture in the community.
The two million square foot mixed use development is a project of the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation. Under their development, most of the longtime residents of buildings demolished for the project were moved into the Modern Apartments complex built during the first phase.
“We’ve all worked hard to make sure that we do not displace residents … We’re stopping displacement. We’re also welcoming new residents,” said Gordon Fletcher, ANC advisory commissioner.
