The D.C. Council approved a $3.7 billion development deal for a Washington Commanders stadium at the RFK site, requiring over $1 billion in public investment and tax breaks. The Commanders will ensure additional union jobs on the project. The site will be transformed into a mixed-use area with 10,000 new residents, hotels, housing, and an entertainment district. The stadium is to be completed by 2030. D.C. Council Chairman stated the project is focused on alternative economic growth beyond federal reliance.
