Browne I Subject:Summary Report of Community Resources inthe Immediate Surrounding Area of Ft. Lincoln. F The following information was obtainedthrough the use of two community consultants I selected by the FLNT Council. Those resourcesfound to be in existence are located within the area bounded by Rhode IslandAvenue on the North, 18th Street on the West, and New York Avenue .J.11 the South.(Please see Map 2 attached.) In addition to resources within theabove area we have listed several important agencies, universities, and the likewhich are outside of the boundaries.This area is called North East. As uncertain asboundaries, zones, and school districts are, we felt it was necessaryto include some resources that arepresent in North East Washington. (Please see Map 3 attached.) The immediate surrounding area isapproximately four (4) square miles, whilethe North East area is approximately 11.11 squaremiles.(Please see Map 3 attached.) Specific information regarding resourceswill be found in the large resource summary chart. I have also included a few attachmentsthat should round out the effort.. They are: 1. A set of survey sheets that itemize thepertinent information needed by us. As was expected, very few resources existin the FLNT immediate area. 2.Two maps that indicate boundaries.Boundaries are broken down into the following categories. a.Site boundary b. Immediate surrounding area c.Larger surrrimding area d.North East boundary 5 page 2. 3. Explanatory section of an N. C. P. C. report on schools. 4. A list of possible program contractors for FLNT. 5. A Directory of resources in North East Washington. 6. A survey of Lutheran Churches and Education. 7. A list of Churches. 8. Civic Associations compiled with the help of Mr. Kenneth Kennedy. 9. A report on the upper North East. 10.A higtory of the Help For Retarded Children, Inc. General Description of Near North East Commercial - Industrial Complex Located along Pennsylvania Avenue and New York Avenue, warehouses are the main commercial enterprises. FLNT area is also a commercial area. Shaping Facilities and Commercial Recreation One shopping center is located in the 1300 block of Rhode Island Avenue and the other is located at Riggs Road and South Dakota Avenue. Numerous corner grocery stores exist. Area recreation consists of two "Adult Movie Houses", one bowling alley, and some taverns.Recreation for youth is virtually non-existent. Public Recreation and Parks A few centers operate and are ill attended by youth because of the lack of good programs. Parks exist as traditional areas without any imaginative utilization of resources.The National Arboretum is not a park, but is a substation of the Department of Agriculture and develops flowering shrubbery for commercial nurseries. Religious Groups_ The North East Group Ministry was established because of the needs of the community.It is now functioning as a force to help shape the FLNT planning effort and as a liaison agency with other groups and agencies.
