*****************************************
The historic, house vote on #DCStatehood is a first step towards ending one of the biggest civil rights injustices of our time.
Until we fix #DCStatehood, 705,000 District residents are subject to the whims of the Federal Government. Sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes, as recently seen, they're not. #DCStatehood now.
DMPED stands with Mayor Bowser and the 705,000 residents of DC for the historic #DCStatehood House vote! It is time to end one of the biggest civil rights
injustices of our time.
The denial of democracy in Washington, DC is voter suppression. DMPED joins @MayorBowser and 705,000 residents in calling on Congress to fix this civil rights injustice. #DCStatehood now.

DC's Economic Strategy Advisory Committee Meting
After first convening with an advisory committee of many of the DC region's most influential leaders from business, government and philanthropy in August we’ve talked with hundreds of stakeholders in person and digitally. We have reviewed data and reports to understand trends and promising practices and attended conferences and consulted with other key area thought leaders. On November 18th, we reconvened to share what we’ve learned and our initial thoughts on the District's economic strategy – specifically, our inclusive economic growth dashboard, strategy goals, framework for action, and targeted growth sectors.
The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) is charged with executing the Mayor's economic development strategy.
