If you've been following the news, you know that this is a tough budget year for DC for a variety of reasons (ending of federal pandemic funds, decline in commercial real estate taxes and associated revenue, longer-term pressures related to education and public transportation).
Nonetheless, our Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen has successfully preserved critical investments in our Ward, including:
School modernizations at Brent, Amidon-Bowen, JO Wilson, and Chisholm (and substantial renovations at Ludlow-Taylor)
Staffing at Stuart-Hobson, Ludlow-Taylor, Walker-Jones, and SWS@Goding
Restoring FoodPrints support for DCPS campuses city-wide
Funds for the Eastern Market Metro Park, including maintenance, repairs, a park manager, and Safe Passage funds
Funding for a new field at Greenleaf Rec Center
Funding to support LGBTQ+ businesses in Main Streets neighborhoods, which includes several Main Streets in Ward 6 (Barracks Row, H Street, Eastern Market)
Small business support, funds for security improvements, and pop-up permitting reform for the H Street NE corridor
