"Using the national bank community development investment authority, we will continue to work with banks to identify opportunities for investments, loans, and services that will mature community development in locales such as Anacostia," Mr. Dugan said in a speech to the Anacostia Economic Summit sponsored by the District of Columbia and Project HOPE. "And we’re talking about real money here: During the past decade banks have invested more than $15 billion in such projects nationwide. We will continue to encourage such investments within the appropriate framework of responsible risk management."
