The District of Columbia Department of General Services is hosting a virtual community meeting on June 8, 2026, to discuss the O Street Retaining Wall Restoration Project. DGS is in the design phase of work to stabilize and improve the wall's integrity, and will install monitoring equipment in select areas within the coming weeks to assess conditions. The meeting will provide residents with project updates, explain what to expect during this phase, and address community questions.

The District of Columbia marked the topping out of the Fort Lincoln Campus Improvement Project in Ward 5, a $50.8 million transformation of the former Thurgood Marshall Elementary School into a recreation and early childhood education facility. The 44,000 square foot campus will include a gymnasium with an elevated indoor track, racquetball courts, fitness center, demonstration kitchen, and early childhood education center, along with 20 acres of park improvements. The project is part of Mayor Muriel Bowser's decade-long, $600 million investment to modernize recreation centers across the District.

The District of Columbia Department of General Services has issued a sole source procurement notice for design build services to upgrade HVAC systems and replace a chiller at the Metropolitan Police Department's 1st District Headquarters located at 101 M Street SW. The contract will be awarded to Adrian L. Merton Inc. under a sole source justification, meaning the department determined this contractor is uniquely qualified for the work.
