Based on an analysis of approved development, available land, regional growth trends, and local planning policies, the population decline experienced in Upper Northeast since the 1950s has come to an end. In fact, the Planning Area is projected to add approximately 5,000 households by 2025, and its population is projected to rise about 19 percent to 70,000. The primary areas of population growth are around the Metro stations at Fort Totten, Brookland, and Rhode Island Avenue; at Fort Lincoln; and in the vicinity of Hechinger Mall/Benning Road. 2406.1
More than half of the additional households are associated with specific sites that are in various stages of planning right now. These include the remaining vacant parcels at the Fort Lincoln New Town, WMATA-owned land at the three metro stations, and private development projects such as the 500-unit Arboretum Place north of Hechinger Mall. 2406.2
The number of jobs is expected to increase by about 15 percent over the next 20 years. Most of the increase is associated with redevelopment of key parcels along the New York Avenue and Bladensburg corridors, and mixed use development around the Metro stations. Expansion of industrially zoned acreage in the area is not expected. In fact, most of the employment growth will be the result of the conversion of former industrial land to new uses, especially near Metro. 2406.3
