USATODAY.com reports that the DC Sports and Entertainment Commission outlined its plans in a meeting with city government officials. An official involved told The Associated Press that the commission settled on a location along the Anacostia River waterfront near M and South Capitol streets.
Washington and Northern Virginia have been the leading locations since May to land the Expos, who were bought by the other 29 teams before the 2002 season.
Washington appears to be the favorite after an 11-hour meeting last week with members of baseball's relocation committee.
Baseball's eight-man executive council meets on Thursday in Milwaukee, and commissioner Bud Selig could announce a decision by the end of next week.
The M Street location was chosen over three other primary candidates, including a plan that would have built the ballpark next to RFK Stadium, where the Expos would play from 2005 until the new ballpark opens, perhaps in 2008.
Even if baseball announces a decision, it would be contingent on the City Council approving a funding package that would include new taxes. In addition, the lawyer for the Expos' former limited partners say they will ask a Miami judge to block a relocation pending the outcome of their lawsuit against former controlling owner Jeffrey Loria and baseball officials.
