华盛顿理事会批准了一项5.15亿美元的交易,用于购买和翻修Capital One Arena,另外3亿美元来自纪念性体育和娱乐活动。 The D.C. Council approved a $515 million deal to buy and renovate Capital One Arena, with additional $300 million from Monumental Sports & Entertainment. 该项目旨在将华盛顿首府和魔法师留在城市数十年,创造4 000多个就业机会,产生2 100万美元的税收。 The project aims to keep the Washington Capitals and Wizards in the city for decades, creating over 4,000 jobs and generating $21 million in tax revenue. 然而,有人担心该项目可能导致唐人街居民因租金上涨和小企业损失而流离失所。 However, concerns have been raised that the project could lead to the displacement of Chinatown's residents due to rising rents and loss of small businesses.
