Anacostia Riverfront Revitalization is just one of Hill East’s initiatives to make Washington D.C. a more vibrant and liveable place. Using low impact development techniques and natural wetland vegetation the water will be filtered and cleaned. The Bächle that runs down C St. is a fun and aesthetic way to attract visitors and residents down towards the riverfront where they can shop, eat, stroll along the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, kayak, and more.
