Summary

Senior Advisor Lindsay Parker described the governance structure for RFK campus redevelopment (project executive Brian Hanlon), the RFK Community Benefits Agreement ($50M over 30 years), master‑planning kickoff and early solicitations, and workforce/CBE engagement aimed at maximizing DC business participation ahead of a 2030 stadium goal.

Senior Advisor Lindsay Parker told the committee the RFK campus redevelopment is governed by a mayoral order that separates strategic oversight (Office of the Senior Advisor) from project execution (RFK Project Management Office led by Brian Hanlon, Department of Buildings). Parker said the mayor's order and subsequent actions were intended to keep agency roles distinct while moving the project toward the administration’s 2030 stadium delivery goal.

Parker highlighted milestones: passage of the enabling federal/local legislation, execution of the RFK Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) and transfer of jurisdiction from Interior to the District. She said the CBA includes a $50,000,000 commitment over 30 years for youth programming, grocery subsidies East of the River, workforce development and small business supports. "This marked the beginning of sustained engagement to ensure that DC CBEs, small and local businesses are informed early and positioned to compete," Parker said, noting a joint kickoff with the DC Chamber of Commerce.

Parker also described an RFK master‑plan process to be led by the Office of Planning and scheduled community outreach; she committed to posting solicitations and workforce opportunities on a public RFK portal (ourrfk.dc.gov) and to coordinate workforce pathways with DOES, DSLBD and the Infrastructure Academy. Councilmembers pressed for enforcement mechanisms to ensure First Source, PLA and local hiring commitments are honored as the project progresses.
