Excerpt:

Mayor Vincent Gray plans to explore the idea of eliminating or moderating the limitation on building heights in parts of wards 7 and 8. The goal would be to entice companies needing large spaces to locate in the District, he told a group of entrepreneurs recently.

After a March 29 meeting with the D.C. chapter of the Indus Entrepreneurs, Gray said the purpose of the citywide height limitation “would not be violated” by the change, because it “would not affect the monuments on the Mall.” He said he would ask the attorney general to look into the issue.
