District Strong on Federal Land Use and Statehood

Please join us Friday, January 20th from 12pm to 1pm for a District Strong conversation on federal land use restrictions in the District with Jon Bouker, Partner and Government Relations Practice Co-Leader at ArentFox Schiff, and Ellen McCarthy, Principal of The Urban Partnership. 

Private and public sector developers in the District face unique hurdles due to federal preemptions of what would be local decisions in any other jurisdiction. Such federal control holds back the promise and potential of the nation's capital. We've invited local land use experts to discuss how federal regulations hold back DC real estate development—and how statehood would help. The event will be co-moderated by Gregory McCarthy of Statehood Research DC and The Washington Nationals.
