Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) hosted the 12th annual DMPED March Madness, the District’s yearly business showcase of new real estate, housing, and workforce support initiatives.

Happy Holidays! 
As we close out 2025, we’re proud of the progress made to advance Mayor Bowser’s Growth Agenda and energized by the continued impact of DC’s business community in 2026.
WASHINGTON, DC (December 12 , 2025) – K Street Capital and the District of Columbia announced the selection of the first fund managers for the DC Venture Capital Program, a $26 million initiative launched by Mayor Muriel Bowser to expand early-stage investment in DC-based technology companies and increase access to capital.
The selected fund managers are Hustle Fund and Lytical Ventures.

Letter from the Deputy Mayor 
This week, Mayor Bowser unveiled Grow DC, her Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Budget. By making smart, targeted investments, DC is focused on replacing federal jobs and retaining our world-class talent, expanding housing opportunities for DC residents, and making DC more resilient and competitive.

Last week was a huge win for DC! The DC Council passed the FY26 budget on Monday and took a first vote to support the RFK redevelopment on Friday, with the final vote scheduled for September.
