"The deal was straightforward: In exchange for a multimillion-dollar D.C. tax break, a hotel developer in one of Washington’s best-known neighborhoods agreed to hire more than 300 construction workers, all of them city residents. Yet as work on the Adams Morgan hotel approaches completion, D.C. officials say that the developer has hired just 25 percent of the workers it promised to employ and is in danger of forfeiting the $46 million tax abatement."
