454N St Nw

 I had inquired about the status of 454 N St NW . After several phone calls a the project manager from DHCD called this AM to say that they finally have the necessary approvals to go ahead with work on the building. An MOU needs to be signed the project manager is optimistic that will happen and constuction will begin by the end of the month. The manager said she has been working on this for three years and doesn't really know why it took so long but that plans were lost a couple of times.I think the DC Government should use this as a case study to determine what the bottlenecks are in their business processes and take action to correct them. Not likely to happen but worth suggesting .
