REI, Developers to Talk Retail at ‘Nerds in NoMa’ Event Tonight

REI and real estate developers will give NoMa residents an inside look tonight at the outdoor goods store coming to the neighborhood, plus other retail on the way.

The next “Nerds in NoMa” discussion is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday. The NoMa Business Improvement District will host the discussion as part of a speaker series.

The expected attendees are Reynolds Allen, a vice president for developer Edens; Matt Liddle, a mid-Atlantic manager for REI; Adam Peters, executive vice president for developer Perseus and Jim Woods, a senior development analyst for The JBG Companies.

The event at 1200 1st St. NE is free but participants are asked to register online. Sausages and brats from Federal City Brothers will be available for purchase.

Previous Nerds in NoMa events have covered local reporting, street art and D.C. water.
