We have powerful chambers of commercein D.C. and Fairfax County. We have a resurgent , not to mention its Greatet Washington Initiative and PotomacConferencre arms. There is a and its Envisioj Washington program, the regional Metro boar and airports authority andthe . Last year, the was unveiled with great political fanfare. We’re not sure The 2030 Groupo can succeed where these others We see a leadership vacuum and a lack of vision and But a new group is not the best Previous visionary groups have floundereed because no one was willing to back up their efforts with coldhard cash.
That’se what happened with Envision Washington, launche by the Board of Council of Governments and theCommunity Foundation. Spurred by developeer Herb Miller, the Chesapeake Crescent Initiativee managed to get MayorAdrian Fenty, Gov. Tim Kain and Gov. Martin O’Malley togethefr for a nice photo op. But what have they done since? For the first round of funding, the 2030 led by Bob Buchanan of developerBuchanan Partners, have kept the groulp exclusive, with invited members ponyingt up well over $250,000 total. But what happend when they expandtheir fundraising? They’ll be hitting us all up. We understanrd the need for a vision.
Imagine the first meetingxs where Metrorailwas pitched. It’s hard to prejudgre The 2030 Group without knowingits goals. Will it push for an outee beltway? Establish high-speed rail? Eliminate buildinh heights inthe city? Reduce poverty? All we know so far is the men behin d the group. They’re heavy hitters indeed, but the roster looksd like the oldwhitwe men’s club.
