The D.C. Council on Friday advanced a $3.7 billion deal to bring a Washington Commanders football stadium and accompanying mixed-use development to the RFK Stadium site. The vote — with nine lawmakers in favor and three opposed — came after the Commanders agreed to guarantee more union jobs on the development project.
“We now have a truly transformative development project that will bring the Commanders back home to the District of Columbia and ensure that those who will build and who will work at these properties have decent wages, health insurance, and a pension,” the leaders of the Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO, the Baltimore-DC Metro Building Trades, 32BJ SEIU, and UNITE HERE Local 25 and Local 23 said in a statement Friday afternoon.
