Here is a bit of news that we can all appreciate for years to come: recently, the Washington DC Economic Partnership, a 501(c)3 organization that promotes and stimulates local business in the District of Columbia, announced the 2013 recipients of the Great Streets Grant Initiative Program. This program distributes more than $1.25 million among different recipients in order to help stimulate small-business development and expansion. They also help create new jobs for District residents along selected Great Streets corridors and surrounding areas: these grants focused on the H Street, NE, corridor as well as the Nannie Helen Burroughs, NE corridor; the 7th Street and North Capitol Street NW; Georgia Avenue NW; and Pennsylvania Avenue SE.
The winners from our neck of the woods are as follows:
Chez Hareg Market, 806 H Street NE, $85,000 to help with the re-construction of the building.
