Current through Register Vol. 71, No. 49, December 6, 2024
Rule 10-A1606 - PROJECTIONS
1606.1

Based on projects that are under construction, approved, or proposed; regional growth trends; and the planning policies articulated by the Comprehensive Plan, significant growth is expected in Central Washington during the next 20 years. The Planning Area is expected to grow from 8,000 households in 2005 to 16,400 households in 2025. Population will nearly double from about 15,700 residents today to about 30,000 residents by 2025. Most of the growth in Central Washington is expected to consist of new high-density housing, particularly in the Mount Vernon Triangle and NoMA areas. Medium and moderate density housing is also anticipated, as communities like Sursum Corda/Northwest One are redeveloped. 1606.1

1606.2

The number of jobs is expected to increase from about 423,000 today to 490,000 in 2025. This represents just over half of the total increase in employment projected for the District of Columbia between 2005 and 2025. Most of the increase will take place in NoMA and on the eastern side of the traditional Downtown. Major development sites such as the Old Convention Center also will generate a significant number of new jobs. Replacement of some of the aging building stock in the traditional Downtown, Near Southwest, and Golden Triangle areas also can be expected. 1606.2
