The Washington Capital Beltway and Its Impact on Industrial and Multi-Family Expansion in Virginia JULIA A
The Washington Capital Beltway and Its Impact on Industrial and Multi-Family Expansion in Virginia JULIA A. CONNALLY and CHARLES O. MEIBURG, Bureau of Population and Economic Research, University of Virginia This paper reports on the impact of the Washington Capital Beltway on industrial and multi-family expansion in Northern Virginia. Between 1960 and 1965 industrial employment grew 71 percent, primarily because of the many industries which located near the Beltway. Interviews with 48 industry execu tives indicated that access to the circumferential was a sig nificant factor in their location decision. The wholesale distribution and research and development firms gave the greatest weight to accessibility to the Beltway. As well as promoting industrial growth, the Beltway has altered the com muting patterns of the industrial workers. One-half of 2, 100 employees surveyed used the circumferential to commute. The Beltway has expanded the labor market to include Maryland and a much larger section of Northern Virginia. The Beltway area also spawned more than 3, 000 new apartment units be tween 1964 and 1966. Like the industrial workers, 50 percent of the apartment residents commute via the Beltway, but their travel pattern is quite different. The large majority are em ployed in the District and Arlington County; only a few work in nearby industries. The implications of the study include the continued growth of industrial and multi-family development in the Beltway area, resulting in increased traffic on both the radials and the Beltway, with the greatest pressure occurring at the interchanges. The study concludes with an approach toward the control of land development in interchange areas. -

MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Alfred D. Lott, ICMA-CM, CPM City Manager SUBJECT: Status Report DATE: November 9, 2017 Status Report 1. Purchase of Road Deicing Salt The Public Works Department has located a contract for the purchase of road deicing salt with Montgomery County (IFB# 1041647) through two (2) vendors, upon which we will be able to piggyback. The current price for salt with Morton Salt, Inc. (Primary Vendor) is $68.12/ton and we intend to purchase up to 1,460 tons as needed this winter. We will sign a contract and issue a purchase order to Morton Salt, Inc. in the amount of $99,455.20. This is within the amount budgeted for FY18 in the Public Works Streets Operating Supplies Account. The current price for salt with Eastern Salt Co., Inc. (Secondary Vendor) is $77.10/ton. We will sign a contract and issue a purchase order to Eastern Salt Co., Inc. in the amount of $10,000. As provided for in the Montgomery County Contract, the Secondary Vendor would serve only as a backup salt supplier should the Primary Vendor be unable to fulfill a required order. As provided in Section 62 of the City Charter, this will serve as the required seven (7) day notice of intent to purchase. 2. Economic Development Committee (EDC)) The EDC held their regular meeting Wednesday and heard a briefing on the Prince George’s County Competitive Retail Market Strategic Action Plan given by Derick Berlage from MNCPPC and Larry Hentz from the County EDC. One of the ways the Plan is implemented is through a targeted effort to recruit grocery stores, high-quality restaurants, and women’s apparel stores. -
