Washington, D.C.

摘要

Although almost everyone in the nation's capital bought into the "Yes, we can!" mentality, economic pressures have largely stifled private development in Washington, D.C.rnFederal stimulus funding has allowed a few infrastructure modernization efforts and new-building projects to move forward. "The public and institutional sectors are active," says David Kitchens, principal in charge of Cooper Carry's Alexandria, Va., office, located just down the Potomac River. But lack of funding from "private-sector funding sources continue[s] to be the primary reason that projects are not starting or are on hold."
