"First NPR, then the Justice Department, and now a high-end, full- service grocery store - all within a few feet of a Metrorail station. It’s clear now that NoMa is no longer just a plan – it’s a reality.” That’s what Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty said in announcing the lease in NoMa for a 50,000 square foot full-service grocery store at Constitution Square. The store, to be located at the corner of First and M Streets, N.E., is scheduled to open in the winter of 2010/2011.[Learn More]
