A recent study of Virginia’s economic development program elicited some positive reviews but also found that it lacks the data to measure its success truly.
The Center Square: “Washington’s NBA and NHL franchises have announced intention of a move to northern Virginia, part of a $2 billion public-private partnership to create a “world-class” entertainment district in the Alexandria’s Potomac Yard neighborhood.”
“News of the move began to break Monday and Tuesday, with Wednesday’s news conference by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin confirming. A vote Monday by state lawmakers was affirmative, and another of the full General Assembly is needed. The NBA Wizards and NHL Capitals are owned by Ted Leonsis, the CEO of Monumental Sports & Entertainment.”
