The news you have all been waiting for!!!

DMPED announced its 2016 Great Streets Retail Small Business Reimbursement Grant Notice in the July 24th DC Register.

Polina Bakhteiarov from DMPED will be here at the Festival Center, 1640 Columbia Road, NW on Friday August 14th at 9:30 am to review with business owners how to apply for one of these grants. Please help spread the word to your neighbors. We will be meeting in the large conference room.
