A conversation with Ab Jordan and Wanda Lockridge about the Therme plan for Poplar Point

For decades, Poplar Point has been fenced off and left contaminated, closing off one of Ward 8’s most important natural spaces. Now, with plans underway for a new 70-acre public park, the community has a chance to restore wetlands, expand green space and reconnect to the Anacostia River. Therme DC, a proposed health and wellness destination, will help unlock this park while creating local jobs and supporting environmental restoration.
