Development in D.C.
I think I would really like to focus on the development of the city of DC. L’Enfant has always been an interest of mine, and I always run into questions as to why it was and is designed the way it is.
To start my research, I would start with a shallow web search through Google just to see what pops up. Then I would move into databases like EBSCO through Mason, as well as the Library of Congress. I think this will provide a solid base for what I am looking for. I will probably need to narrow it again after an initial search due to development of a city being a broad topic.
Based on what I found the first time through I would narrow and go through the cycle again.

I think your topic is pretty interesting because I find the origins of important sites fascinating. I also like it because it is close to what I want to focus on when it comes to Washington D.C and its development. Since you are mainly focusing on the development I know there are a number of secondary sources you can gather on the internet. Here is a link to one if you haven’t stumbled upon it. http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/wash/lenfant.htm
