The Ivy City Resilience Hub Eminent Domain Authority Act of 2025 authorizes the Mayor of the District of Columbia to exercise eminent domain to acquire a property located at 1950 Capitol Avenue, N.E. This site is intended for the establishment of a climate resilience hub in Ivy City, a neighborhood that faces significant environmental challenges. The legislation is a response to recommendations from the District of Columbia Commission on Climate Change & Resiliency, which highlighted the need for resilience hubs to support communities by coordinating resources, enhancing communication, and addressing climate-related issues.

The bill outlines the procedures for the Mayor to exercise eminent domain in accordance with existing laws, specifically referencing subchapter II of Chapter 13 of Title 16 of the District of Columbia Official Code. The acquisition of the Capitol Avenue site, currently occupied by a seal manufacturing facility, is deemed essential for constructing the resilience hub, which will serve as a resource center during both steady and disruptive states, ultimately aiding in community recovery and resilience against climate change impacts.
