SURVEY FOR BUSINESS PPE NEEDS TO OPERATE SAFELY

BUSINESS OWNERS: Take the following short survey to help us better understand what PPE supplies your business needs to reopen safely by COB TODAY.

The Capitol Hill BID, DC BID Council and the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington (RAMW) are working with the ReOpen DC Committee to determine PPE supply needs for small businesses over the next three months.

NOTE: This is NOT an order form. The information will be used to help develop and stock a supply network to ensure your business has the PPE supplies it needs to safely operate in the next phase of the reopening process.

To take the survey, visit https://docs.google.com/forms/

APPLICATIONS ARE LIVE FOR (EARS) PILOT

On Friday May 15, Mayor Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) launched applications for the Educational and Academic Retail Shops (EARS) Pilot. The EARS pilot will grant waivers to local educational and academic retail shops to do curbside and front door pickup.
 
The District Government will only allow certain non-essential businesses to operate if operators submit and get approved a COVID-19 EARS Waiver request to operate during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
