(Washington Business Journal) — The District is making $50,000 available to Ward 3 businesses willing to organize and launch a business improvement district-like nonprofit to support commercial operations along their corridor.
The Ward 3 Business Association Development Project, funded through a grant secured by D.C. Councilwoman Mary Cheh, D-Ward 3, will “support the retention of businesses operating” along the chosen corridor. A coalition of businesses from one corridor will be selected through a competitive process that started Monday, when the Department of Small and Local Business Development released the applications.
