The "Georgia Avenue Acquisition Authority Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025" is a proposed emergency legislation aimed at authorizing the District of Columbia to acquire six underutilized properties (Lots 809, 840, 841, 842, 843, and 848) located on Georgia Avenue. These properties are currently facing foreclosure and are at risk of becoming blighted, which poses a threat to the revitalization efforts in the Georgia Avenue corridor. The Mayor emphasizes the importance of acquiring these properties to facilitate cohesive redevelopment, particularly due to their proximity to a District-owned site, Engine 22.

The resolution asserts that immediate action is necessary to prevent the properties from falling into disrepair and to ensure they are utilized for economically beneficial purposes. The Council recognizes the urgency of the situation, given the pending foreclosure, and determines that the circumstances warrant the adoption of the legislation after a single reading. The resolution is designed to promote social and economic benefits for the residents of the District of Columbia through the revitalization of the Georgia Avenue neighborhood.
