Great Streets Program Expansion Neighborhood Retail Priority Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution declares an emergency to extend the temporary "Great Streets Program Expansion Neighborhood Retail Priority Emergency Amendment Act of 2024" until the permanent "Great Streets Program Expansion Neighborhood Retail Priority Amendment Act of 2024" (Bill 25-488) completes its required 30-day congressional review. It ensures small businesses in designated neighborhoods - Mount Vernon Triangle, Eastern Market, Barracks Row, and Georgia Avenue areas - can continue accessing retail grants without interruption. The resolution does not change the program’s policy but maintains temporary access during the legislative review process.
