Deputy Mayor’s Office for Planning and Economic Development presents: “March Madness” with special guest Mayor Muriel Bowser

Monday, March 30, 2015, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Lincoln Theatre at 1215 U St. NW Doors open at 11 a.m. – Program starts at 11:30 a.m.

It’s that time of year. March Madness. On March 30, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED), joined by the Department of Housing and Community Development and Department of Small and Local Business Development, will reveal its top seeds – in the form of new and upcoming projects soon to be available to D.C.’s development community.

At this event, DMPED and other District agencies will discuss the solicitation process and response requirements, and most importantly, provide a forum for interaction among potential team members across the community development sector. Organizations in the following areas should consider attending:

• Real estate development teams • Design & engineering consultants • Architectural firms • Housing • General contractors • Subcontractors • Equity providers • Lenders • Capital sources • Small businesses

The disposition of District assets requires local participation for District-based employees and service providers. This event provides an opportunity for dialogue among talented local Certified Business Enterprises (CBEs) and development professionals to create relationships for future respondent teams. The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development encourages CBE’s with appropriate professional background to participate in this event.

Attendance at this event is not a requirement for submissions of interest for the projects.

*Please RSVP for each individual attendee from your organization. The Eventbrite tickets associated with registration are not necessary for entry into the Lincoln Theatre on the day of the event, but please RSVP to ensure we know you are joining us.
