B 25-1010 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Great Streets Program Expansion Neighborhood Retail Priority Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This bill expands the District of Columbia's Great Streets Program by designating specific neighborhoods as Retail Priority Areas to encourage local business growth. It directly affects property owners and businesses in the Mount Vernon Triangle, Eastern Market, Barracks Row, and Georgia Avenue areas by updating the legal boundaries that define these zones. The key mechanism involves amending existing laws to redraw the geographic lines for these priority areas, ensuring they cover the intended communities. Once enacted, these designated areas become eligible for the retail incentives and support services provided under the Retail Incentive Act of 2004.
