Retail Grants Seek To Improve H Street Corridor

The lovely editors at All Things Fashion DC asked me to explore the H Street NE Retail Priority Grant Program, designed to award grants to independently owned retailers in order to improve the H Street community. The release detailed that “the grants are meant to stimulate small-business development and expansion while also creating new job opportunities for District residents along the emerging H Street NE retail-and-entertainment corridor and the surrounding area”. Small business development in the District is needed as independent boutiques struggle to compete with national chain retailers eager to place storefronts in the center of one of the wealthiest areas in the country.
