Overall Summary

Prior to this Administration economic development and job

creation projects were essentially frozen. Now, just eleven

months in to the Gray Administration, we have unfrozen 14

major projects that are now under construction in 6 wards(including Ward 7) representing $1.9 billion in investment in

the District that represent 3,500 construction jobs and, when

completed, 5,300 permanent jobs.

Looking out on the horizon to projects that are scheduled to be

under construction by 2015, were on track to leverage $11Bin investment that will create more than 56,000 construction

jobs and more than 50,000 permanent jobs.

This represents close to 7,800 construction jobs and 4,600

permanent jobs for Ward 7 alone.
