The Commerce Department is providing more than $500,000 in grants to benefit areas around the former St. Elizabeths Hospital as the Department of Homeland Security consolidates its operations in Southeast Washington.
The grants are part of a federal effort to help distressed communities by working with local governments to "create higher-skill, living-wage jobs, advance regional competitiveness and generate private sector investment," said officials from the Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration.
