DC Main Streets Business Sub Grants

DC Main Streets is a program through which the District government works with neighborhood organizations to revitalize the District's neighborhood business districts through a comprehensive and systemic strategy for business retention and attraction, commercial property improvements, and provision of coordinated corridor-wide services.

Each year Main Street programs have at least $30,000 of funds to provide sub-grants and technical assistance to businesses in their corridor. These funds can be used for a variety of activities including direct cash assistance, signage and storefront improvements, interior renovations, social media marketing, accounting support, lease negotiations, etc.
