The "Closing of a Portion of a Public Alley and Dedication of Land for Alley Purposes in Square 756, S.O. 24-00310, Act of 2025" is a legislative proposal aimed at facilitating the construction of a new building for St. Joseph's Church on Capitol Hill. The bill authorizes the closure of approximately 270 square feet of a public alley adjacent to the church, which is deemed unnecessary for alley purposes. In conjunction with this closure, the church will dedicate 105 square feet of land from its property to the District to widen the public alley at the northern end. This initiative is part of St. Joseph's six-year strategic plan to enhance its community services, including hosting events and providing support for underprivileged residents.

The bill outlines the procedural steps for closing the alley and accepting the land dedication, referencing the relevant sections of the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisition Procedures Act of 1982. It also mandates the transmittal of the act to the Surveyor of the District of Columbia and the Recorder of Deeds upon its effective date. The act will take effect following the Mayor's approval, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
