Gray to target tech sector, job growth

D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray plans this week to lay out his five-year economic development plan for the city that will focus on targeting key sectors for job creation and new revenue growth for a city economy that has largely been dependent on the highs and lows of the federal government.

The announcement, which is planned for Wednesday at the under construction CityMarket at O Street, comes as District’s financial planners have been bracing for the impact of planned federal spending cuts in January.
