Mayor Bowser Releases 10-Year Progress Report A Decade of Delivering
Mayor Muriel Bowser unveiled her 10-Year Progress Report, highlighting a decade of achievements in Washington, DC. Major milestones include the opening of Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center, which brought essential health services to Ward 8, and the closure of the old DC General Shelter, resulting in a 61% decrease in family homelessness. The district also achieved its ambitious goal of 36,000 new homes ahead of schedule, which has helped mitigate rising housing costs. Bowser's administration has prioritized expanding access to early childhood education and modernizing schools citywide. Notable transformations of long-stalled projects like Skyland Town Center and St.
Elizabeths East have turned them into vibrant community hubs. The report lays the groundwork for a new growth agenda that aims to generate jobs and attract businesses. Bowser's vision focuses on utilizing underutilized spaces in downtown and fostering sectors such as sports and technology. She thanked the residents for their support and commitment to progress over the past ten years.
