A growing number of hotel guests mirrors, and a growing number of restaurants directly contributes to, the District&#39;s increased overall quality of life. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16799/gray-sets-out-solid-vision-for-economic-development/#comment-160406 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 08:50:43 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16799/gray-sets-out-solid-vision-for-economic-development/#comment-160401 Nice summary. <p>This is another strong move by the Mayor. He continues to impress me after a rough start. I like that he reached out to the universities and that the plan is quite detailed.</p> http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16799/gray-sets-out-solid-vision-for-economic-development/#comment-160401 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 07:28:00 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16799/gray-sets-out-solid-vision-for-economic-development/#comment-160399 While I agree that other specific constituencies could, or should have been included, I am not yet ready to criticize the Mayor or this panel. The fact is, he did go outside the box in developing this plan, which is good. Could he have gone further outside of the box? Probably. But I am not there yet in thinking that there should have been 100 stakeholder meetings around the city to formulate the plan. At some point, leadership needs to lead, and in this case, I think it has. We all have a chance to provide input when we go to the ballot box. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16799/gray-sets-out-solid-vision-for-economic-development/#comment-160399 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 06:49:34 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16799/gray-sets-out-solid-vision-for-economic-development/#comment-160396 I&#39;m disappointed that other groups weren&#39;t included too, including Engineering schools, tourism and hospitality programs at GWU and HU, etc. But I have to read the plan, so for me I am not ready to comment. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16799/gray-sets-out-solid-vision-for-economic-development/#comment-160396 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 06:10:44 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16799/gray-sets-out-solid-vision-for-economic-development/#comment-160351 I&#39;m disappointed the Mayor didn&#39;t included Gallaudet University&#39;s MBA program. As usual, the city overlooked many other talents deaf people (and people with disabilities). We need to make the city more accessible-friendly to all people with disabilities visiting from around the world. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16799/gray-sets-out-solid-vision-for-economic-development/#comment-160351 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:02:35 EDT
