After ponying up a big fat zero for 2012, the federal government appears on track to fund the Department of Homeland Security’s move to the St. Elizabeths Hospital campus next year, giving a big boost to the city’s plans to redevelop the Southeast campus.

A Senate appropriations committee has approved President Obama’s recommendation of funding the move with $89 million for 2013 while a House appropriations committee has approved $34.5 million for the move, according to the office of D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton.
