The Innovation & Equitable Development Office (Inno.ED) within the Department of Small & Local Business Development (DSLBD) is pleased to share that the 2020 Robust Retail Citywide grant will be open through March 15, 2020 at 2:00 PM.

The BID will host the 2019 Annual Membership Meeting breakfast on Tuesday, February 25, from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM at the Hill Center, located at 921 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE.
The Annual Meeting allows all members (commercial property owners and tenants) in the BID area to elect new members of the Board of Directors or to reelect those whose terms have expired. It is also a great opportunity to reflect on the past year and get a preview of upcoming BID initiatives.
BID Members (Commercial Property Owners and Tenants): Proxy/ballots will be mailed the first week of February. When you receive your proxy(ies) in the mail, please vote, sign and return each one immediately via mail, email or fax.
If you own/lease multiple properties, you will receive multiple proxies. Please sign and return each and every proxy/ballot you receive.
Please RSVP to Patty Brosmer at (202) 842-3333 ex. 11 or pbrosmer@capitolhillbid.org.
