Greater DC Autonomy: City Controls Its Own Property

This act increases the independence of the District of Columbia, or Washington D.C., in managing its own properties. It means the city authorities will have more freedom in planning development and selling land, without needing approval from a federal planning commission. This will allow decisions regarding urban space to be made faster and more locally, potentially impacting infrastructure development and service availability for residents.
Key points
District of Columbia authorities will no longer need federal commission approval for property transfers between federal and city agencies.
The city gains full control over approving construction and development projects on its land, without federal oversight.
The District of Columbia will be able to independently decide on land sales, speeding up investment processes and city asset management.
