DC Mayor Gray, Council members Evans and Catania applaud area dealers and the importance of the auto business
The Washington Auto Show has become the public policy show in the auto industry, DC Mayor Vincent Gray told WANADA Annual Lunch attendees in praise of the Washington area dealers which produce the show.
The local auto industry is an important part of the Citys transportation equation, Gray said. Weve got to work with the auto industry to create additional energy-efficient ways to get around our streets and WANADA is key to that. He said that by 2030 the population of the city is slated to rise by 55% and motor vehicle transportation will be an indispensable component of that.
DC Council member Jack Evans, who joined the mayor and fellow Councilman David Catania, spoke of his goal to have more auto dealers in D.C., with Catania concurring. Following up on Mayors Grays premise of the importance of cars and the car business in the City, both Councilmen Evans and Catania confirmed their ongoing involvement with the auto show and working with WANADA on enhancing transportation in the City to include the prospect of additional dealers setting up shop here.
