We did not receive any questions from interested firms regarding the RFQ for Bolton Avenue and North MacArthur Drive. The deadline for asking questions about the RFQ has now expired.
However, if you have questions about the process (and not the project), we will continue to accept them. Simply e-mail moed@cityofalex.com
I’m not with a firm or business. I’m a federal civil service employee at Camp Beauregard who is close to retirement. I have a degree in fine arts (from LSU-BR May 1985) and when I retire I want to paint and teach painting, and I want to be involved in community enhancement in the arts. I’m interested in promoting Alexandria themes related to the architecture, history, and landscape of the local area. I notice the abandoned white building at the corner of Lee and Vance streets. I think it could be an art studio and gallery for art students at nearby schools, such as Bolton and Redwine. It could be a place for students to make art afternoons and weekends, and show their work. Just a thought – to ever make it a reality would require enormous energy, coordination, fund-raising, time, and work. When I retire I am interested in doing something like this. Maybe there is someone out there who has similar ideas.
