Fort Reno Reopens “Immediately and Definitely”

Remember a couple weeks ago when we told you that the National Park Service found high levels of arsenic at Fort Reno, home to the Fort Reno Summer Concert Series? That Fort Reno was closed "immediately and indefinitely"? That the future of the concert series was up in the air? And that all this news came at an especially bad time because Fort Reno had just announced a campaign asking for donations? (TMT News)

Well, false alarm.

According to Dischord Records:

DC Mayor Adrian Fenty and environmental officials announced Wednesday afternoon that the closure of Fort Reno park was due to a "false positive" reading for arsenic and that the park would re-open immediately. We assume this means that the Summer Concert Series will begin as scheduled in mid June.

You can, of course, still donate to Fort Reno.
