Winning Community Benefits for ANC6D!

_CBCC is pleased to announce that with City Council's unanimous vote to approve the soccer stadium legislation and funding on Thursday, December 17th, it has secured the following community benefits from the District of Columbia:
  • $250,000 for renovations to Randall Recreation Center in 2015;
  • $8 million over the next three years for a new Circulator bus; and
  • $437,000 over the next three years for a Workforce Intermediary to assist ANC6D residents with soccer development related jobs (construction, hospitality and retail)
In addition, CBCC has executed a separate, legally-binding 30-year community benefits agreement with DC United for specific benefits for the residents of ANC6D, including, among others:
  • Scholarships for 25 youth to attend a full week at the DC United summer day camp;
  • Identify qualified ANC6D youth ages 8-18 to invite to sports clinics to qualify for scholarships to the prestigious DC United Training Program;
  • Free use of stadium meeting rooms by NPOs in ANC6D;
  • Use of the stadium for a minimum of three community day events for NPOs in ANC6D;
  • 24 youth summer and seasonal jobs;
  • Promotion of literacy and healthy lifestyles through the DC United Foundation at Amidon-Bowen and Jefferson Academy Middle School; and
  • Establishment of a CBA Enforcement Committee to ensure these and all provisions of the CBA are met.
In its December 18, 2014 press release, DC United Managing Partner said "D.C. United has been steadfastly committed to the District since its inception, and this agreement builds on that legacy. Both the team and the Southwest neighborhood are poised to flourish with this long-term agreement in place.”  To read the entire press release, please click HERE.
