WASHINGTON — Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 1E unanimously approved a $1,000 community grant application from Friends of the Soldiers Home (FOSH) to support its upcoming Fall Fest, a neighborhood tradition that brings together neighbors, veterans, and the beautiful setting of the Armed Forces Retirement Home. The grant will cover part of the rental cost for the large tent that anchors the festival’s stage and community activities.

WASHINGTON — Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1E (ANC 1E) is pleased to share that Pepco has completed major infrastructure repairs in Park View, following months of sustained advocacy by the Commission and local residents to address recurring power outages. The work, completed in August, included the overnight replacement of a failing underground transformer and same-day sidewalk restoration — and no outages have been reported in the affected area since.
