Where to commemorate Veterans Day around D.C.
Don't forget — Wednesday is Veterans Day . Why it matters: The DMV is filled with active-duty military, veterans and their loved ones. State of play: Here are some ways to observe the holiday around D.C.: Arlington National Cemetery: Head to the historic site for its annual Veterans Day event, including: Music by the United States Coast Guard Band and the U.S. Air Force Singing Sergeants, a wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and a parade of colors. (11am, music starts at 10:30; free , but attendance at wreath-laying limited to participants) Mount Vernon: Head to George Washington's home for a floral tribute at Washington's tomb, speeches from actors playing Washington and Henry Knox, music by Mount Vernon's fifer, the U.S. Air Force Strings, plus activities for kiddos.

Inflation comes for Metro: Higher fares and service cuts loom
Metro is considering service reductions because of rising costs and continued fare evasion. Why it matters: Metro has expanded service and undertaken timely repairs in recent years. But that progress depends on more funding. State of play: You might've heard Metro already was considering an 11% fare hike, starting next July. Metro general manager Randy Clarke now says it could take an even bigger increase to keep up. Also on the table are "service cuts that could be pretty significant," Clarke told ABC7 , or asking DMV governments to approve more funding — another politically difficult ask. What they're saying: "You've got to go fairly deep on service cuts to get actual savings," Clarke told ABC7. "Cutting trains from like eight minutes to 10 minutes doesn't really save much money at all, so you've got to cut and unfortunately impact people's lives to save the costs needed to balance the budget." Context: Metro officials said 64% of Metro bus riders are still not paying their fare. Energy costs are also hitting Metro hard, Clarke says. What's ahead: A Metro spokesperson didn't disclose the anticipated deficit, but said in an email that Clarke is expected to release his budget proposal next

Alexandria gets three new Opportunity Zones to incentivize revitalization
Three additional Opportunity Zones have been added in Alexandria’s West End to support revitalization, Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) announced Friday (Nov. 6). The U.S. Department of the Treasury approved all 153 new Opportunity Zones the Spanberger administration requested in Virginia. The zones are intended to promote long-term private investment in low-income urban, suburban and rural census tracts through federal tax benefits such as deferral of previous capital gains, step-up of previously earned capital gains and exclusion of taxable income on new capital gains in Opportunity Zones. The program was created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
