Good afternoon, Councilmember Lewis George, fellow members of the Committee on Facilities and staff. I am Delano Hunter, Director of the Department of General Services. First, I would like to acknowledge the many dedicated public servants who are proud to work for DGS and their commitment to our shared mission of building, maintaining, and sustaining District-managed properties. I want to thank Mayor Muriel Bowser, City Administrator Kevin Donahue, and Assistant City Administrator Dr. Chris Rodriguez for their support in the agency’s mission with the FY26 Grow DC Budget.
