Bill 20-294 would authorize the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development to issue grants for the specific purpose of supporting job training and job creation programs, community improvement programs, as well as redevelopment and historic preservation projects associated with St. Elizabeths East Campus. This specific grant authority would permit the issuance of grants to support the technology innovation center to be located at St. Elizabeths East Campus and the proposed culinary center to be located in Ward 8. In addition the proposed legislation would approve a land swap between the District and the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority necessary for the redevelopment of a portion of the St. Elizabeths Campus. The land swap is necessary to enable the extension of 13^th Street, SE, pursuant to the St. Elizabeths master plan and grant WMATA easements and fee title to the areas currently operated and maintained as part of the green line Metrorail system near the St Elizabeths East Campus.
