Wharf, developing the Southwest Waterfront; The Yards, developing the Southeast Waterfront; the Old Post Office Building, developing the iconic, 114-year-old building into a first-rate luxury hotel and bringing $100 million in tax revenue to the District in its first ten years; and the new Department of Homeland Security Headquarters, which the Congresswoman has just gotten the funds to develop the Center Building to house the Secretary and DHS staff.\u00a0 Another one of Norton\u2019s redevelopment efforts, the redevelopment of the NOMA section of D.C., is nearly complete.\u00a0 Additionally, Norton\u2019s $5,000 homebuyer and business tax credits were instrumental in helping to preserve D.C.\u2019s residential and business tax base in the wake of the control board period.\n\u201cI very much appreciate the recognition by the D.C. Chamber of Commerce of my work in economic development,\u201d Norton said.\u00a0 \u201cThe highest profile is often given to my work on the city\u2019s overarching priorities, for its citizenship rights and statehood.\u00a0 However, my job is also to provide job and business opportunities, like every other Member of Congress.\u00a0 I thank the Chamber for highlighting this work.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://norton.house.gov//media-center/press-releases/norton-jobs-and-economic-development-bills-earn-her-lifetime-legacy"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.497077289968729, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
