The Robert F. Kennedy Campus Redevelopment Act of 2025 is designed to revitalize the 180-acre waterfront property at the former RFK Memorial Stadium site by authorizing the Mayor to lease parcels and sell stadium seat rights to the Washington Commanders without further Council review. The bill allows for the issuance of bonds totaling up to $759 million for infrastructure costs and an additional $210 million for parking facilities, with the Washington Convention Center Authority authorized to issue up to $284 million for parking construction. It establishes several funds, including the RFK Campus Infrastructure Fund and the District Sports Fund, to manage revenues and support local sports initiatives. Key provisions include tax exemptions for the stadium and garages, as well as sales tax exemptions for personal seat licenses and parking sales.

Additionally, the bill mandates that at least 20% of new jobs created from the Stadium Project be designated for residents of Wards 7 or 8, and at least 10% of certified business enterprises involved in the project must be located in those wards. The Mayor is granted authority to manage the redevelopment, including the construction of a new stadium, and the bill introduces an additional sales tax on ticket sales and certain goods and services sold at the stadium. It also includes a limited zoning exemption for the construction of the stadium and related facilities, ensuring that these developments are not subject to typical zoning regulations until occupancy certificates are issued. Overall, the legislation aims to facilitate the redevelopment of the RFK Campus while providing financial and regulatory support for the new stadium.
