“Residents just wanted to feel heard at the planning stage and oftentimes in the district, a lot of discussions happen after the fact,” said Anthony Thomas-Davis, Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner representing part of the Columbia Heights neighborhood. 

“While I wholeheartedly support the need for treatment and wrap-around services for individuals struggling with alcohol and substance use disorder and related behavioral health challenges in Columbia Heights, I am vehemently opposed to the stabilization and sobering center being located on Park Road as proposed by the Mayor with the support of Councilmember Nadeau.”
