WASHINGTON, D.C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) announced today that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the U.S. Army Military District of Washington have agreed to her request to hold a public hearing on the proposed rule restricting public access to the Washington Channel and to extend the public comment period on the proposed rule. The public hearing will take place on January 27, 2021, at 6:00 p.m., and the public comment period on the proposed rule has been extended from December 29, 2020, to January 28, 2021. USACE previously extended the comment period on the rule after Norton argued that the original comment period did not allow adequate time for public input. Norton spoke personally with Major General Omar Jones, Commanding General of Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region, and he responded yesterday.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), co-chair of the Quiet Skies Caucus, and Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-CA) led a letter this week urging President-elect Joe Biden to appoint Federal Aviation Administration officials who will use creative approaches to solve noise problems from aircraft.
Norton has long led the effort in the House to combat airplane and helicopter noise in the nation’s capital and across the country. Norton’s community meetings on airplane and helicopter noise and residents’ stories of interrupted sleep patterns, homes shaking and difficulty having conversations have guided Norton’s efforts to quell airplane and helicopter noise.
From a press release:

The Atlantic will occupy the top two floors of office space within 610 Water Street. The 90,000 SF office building is designed by awarding-winning Morris Adjmi Architects.
“610 Water Street and The Wharf will offer an exceptional future home for The Atlantic over the long-term,” said Aretae Ortiz Wyler, chief operating officer of The Atlantic. “We’re excited by the walkability of the surrounding area, the gorgeous water views and greenspace, and the accessibility of the location.”

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
Giving voice to a growing movement of ambitious Black women in leadership, debut author, LáVita Gardner, encourages black women to speak life into their dreams-then do it. When I started this journey, I thought it was in response to the need to address the perceived audacity of Black women s ambition, said Gardner. However, in my 15-year political career, I have learned that movements start from within and when you are affirmed and encouraged you can move mountains.
