Thirteen subcontractors were on-site, and 22 people who live in the local neighborhood came out for interviews.  The job seekers were registered with the District of Columbia Department of Employment Services and qualified as local hires for our job efforts. 

Each subcontractor was asked to hire one person, in an effort to create 13 new jobs. Several job offers were made out of this process.  The hiring is still in process as the subcontractors will not hire until we reach their part of construction.  To date, two hires have been made.
