DC Department of Housing and Community Development in Anacostia

Anacostia has the DC Lottery and the DC Department of Housing and Community Development. Congress Heights the Coast Guard and in Ward 7 (sorry don't know the neighborhood name) there is the Department of Employment Services.

Do these day-time workers really have a significant impact on the businesses and organizations in their immediate neighborhoods? Considering the current lack of quality dining, retail and entertainment options can we expect more than a "pop in and pop out" mentality?   How much net positive input can you expect from a small to mid-size Monday - Friday daytime workforce?

Would Ward 8 have been better off with a shiny new soccer stadium or a relocated Reeves Center?

Inquiring minds want to know. Please comment -- even anonymously. ;)
