March Madness is upon us, and the teams are dropping like flies. The first to be eliminated was a team led by the Tensquare Group and Chapman Development, whom ex-Mayor Vince Gray had picked to go all the way in developing Shaw’s Parcel 42. They ran into a tougher bracket-maker in Mayor Muriel Bowser, who voided the contract in January.

The solicitations for the projects are expected to go out in about two weeks. March may soon be over, but the madness is starting.
