    Report by Finance and Capital Committee (B) 03-28-2019 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board Action/Information Summary MEAD Number: Resolution: Action Information 202068 Yes No TITLE: Adopt FY2020 Operating Budget and FY2020-2025 CIP PRESENTATION SUMMARY: Staff will review feedback received from the public and equity analysis on the FY2020 Proposed Budget and request approval of the Public Outreach and Input Report, FY2020 Operating Budget and FY2020-2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to seek Board acceptance and approval of the Public Outreach and Input Report and Title VI equity analysis, and the FY2020 Operating Budget and FY2020-2025 CIP. DESCRIPTION: Budget Priorities: Keeping Metro Safe, Reliable and Affordable The budget is built upon the General Manager/CEO's Keeping Metro Safe, Reliable and Affordable (KMSRA) strategic plan. Metro is making major progress to achieve the goals of this plan by ramping up to average capital investment of $1.5 billion annually, establishing a dedicated capital trust fund exclusive to capital investment, and limiting jurisdictional annual capital funding growth to three percent. Metro continues to encourage the U.S. Congress to reauthorize the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA) beyond FY2020, which provides $150 million in annual federal funds matched by $150 million from the District of Columbia, State of Maryland, and Commonwealth of Virginia. In order to establish a sustainable operating model, Metro is limiting jurisdictional operating subsidy growth to three percent and deploying innovative competitive contracting. The items on the KMSRA agenda that remain to be completed include restructuring retirement benefits and creating a Rainy Day Fund.

  • Amazon HQ2 and Northern Virginia
    VIEWPOINT WASHINGTON-BALTIMORE RESEARCH What are the impacts? Amazon HQ2 and the Northern Virginia and D.C. markets Amazon plans to split its new HQ2 headquarters between Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia and Long Island City in Queens, New York. It anticipates creating 25,000 jobs and occupying 4 million sq. ft. of office space in each city over the next 10 years. This is a watershed development for the Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia markets and it indicates the importance of walkable environments, quality access to transit and infrastructure for major employers. More importantly, it confirms the strength of the D.C. region’s talent. 19 NOVEMBER 2018 CBRE Research © 2018 CBRE Inc.| 1 VIEWPOINT WASHINGTON-BALTIMORE RESEARCH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The key impacts on the Northern Virginia and D.C. markets are as follows: • Amazon’s 4 million-sq.-ft. requirement would account for 33% of Crystal City’s existing office inventory, and its 25,000 employees would comprise 11% of the D.C. region’s tech1 labor market. • The average annual wage for tech employees in the D.C. region is $106,500, which Amazon has announced it will well exceed at $150,000. • Amazon’s 25,000 employees would generate about 50,000 additional jobs in indirect industries and in retail, housing and services. This could jump to as many as 125,000 indirect jobs depending on the composition of Amazon employees, Amazon’s local spending and its employee spending patterns. • Office demand totaling 7 million sq. ft. could occur from indirect job growth. In 2017, Northern Virginia’s annual net absorption totaled 2.3 million sq.
