City officials will consider a new board of directors to oversee some of the District’s largest development projects after an administration report called for a major overhaul of agencies that guide the city’s economic development. Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Victor Hoskins likened the potential group to Baltimore’s nonprofit East Baltimore Development Inc., which eight years ago was established to oversee an 88-acre redevelopment of East Baltimore in conjunction with Johns Hopkins University.

“We’re talking to [city] council about it,” Hoskins told The Washington Examiner, noting nothing official has been decided. “We’re talking to people in the private sector, to local leaders about it, we’re trying to get as much input as possible but something should come out soon.”
