Shiloh Applies for Building Permits for 1533 Ninth

I frequently review the DCRA's permit database on various properties to see what's going on where. Today, I found that last week (on August 5, 2009), Shiloh Baptist Church applied for building permits for its long-vacant property at 1533 Ninth Street, Northwest. This move -- coupled with the impending sale of Shiloh's Eighth Street properties -- hopefully signals that the expansion/renovation plans we saw earlier this year are moving closer toward becoming a reality.
