In September, Norton helped D.C. to meet the final conditions for the formal transfer of federal ownership to the District of Hill East, 67 acres of land, which Norton secured in her land transfer bill in 2006. The proposed mixed-use development project will enhance the neighborhood, and, along with Poplar Point, will yield a significant, steady income stream for the city, which will help to substantially remedy the structural deficit incurred by the District because of numerous federal requirements that limit its economic potential.
