D.C. sues feds over $20 million wage ruling

The District is moving a long-running regulatory clash with the U.S. Department of Labor to a courtroom after a series of rulings that threaten to add $20 million in underpaid wages to the cost of a major mixed-use project.

The D.C. government’s lawsuit, filed in federal court, is tied to the CityCenterDC project, a 2.5 million square foot development that’s under construction on the site of the former convention center.
