Historic Anacostia

The winning projects were created in direct response to issues identified at three Ward 8 Citizen Summits held in 2011 and 2012. The projects focus on preparing Ward

8 residents for, and connecting them to, jobs while building skills and laying the groundwork for new business development within the community. The projects support Ward 8 economic development and leverage the District’s One City Action Plan, the Mayor’s One City ● One Hire initiative and the District’s Five-Year Economic Development Strategy.
