            The purpose of the designation is to officially designate the public alley system within Square 6153, bounded by 4th Street S.E. and Atlantic Street S.E. as Congress Cove Court.  Permanent legislation implementing the official designation will be adopted on final reading on July 28, 2025.  Enacting the legislation on an emergency basis will allow the applicant to obtain District agency approvals, including permits and utility location necessary for development of several residential units along the alley, before the permanent legislation completes the 30-day congressional review period.
