City leaders are seeking to reverse declining tax revenue from office properties downtown that have become increasingly vacant.
While Bowser said the city probably would consult with the federal government to keep tabs on their return-to-work progress, she also said the city can’t bank on federal workers filling up the streets and sidewalks.
Asked for specifics about the economic analysis and plans for implementation, Bowser said she wanted to defer to data analysis experts and did not want to get ahead of the community engagement process. Price said, as an example, the city has a shortage of large spaces for meetings and conventions outside of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in the Mt. Vernon Triangle neighborhood. “So [we could be] looking at, could we turn some of our underutilized buildings into convention spaces, meeting spaces, and help us to do even more tourism?” Office space conversions, he said, could also include conversions to hotels.
