Upcoming Event
Meeting Our Challenges, Realizing Our Potential: Center for Regional Analysis Discussion of the National Capital Region’s Path Forward
📅 June 3, 5 to 7 p.m. | 📍 Mason Square, Fuse
You know the challenges: huge reduction in federal jobs, the loss of billions in federal contracting causing more jobs losses, political and policy attacks, housing affordability, and worsening traffic conditions. It’s time to talk about the path forward.
As part of the Schar School of Policy and Government’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, we invite you to the Fuse at Mason Square in Arlington to listen and interact with three regional leaders who will address how to find new opportunities for business growth, address the supply of attainable for-purchase housing, and addressing our biggest transportation challenges, funding Metro and expanding the American Legion Bridge.
