FY23 Annual Report
This year’s Annual Report shares the BID’s key accomplishments and commercial district developments in the areas of economic development, public space enhancements, street services, transportation, and marketing and events programming from October 1, 2022 – September 30, 2023. From a record amount of leasing activity including 48 business openings, to Washingtonian and Eater DC including us among the best dining scenes in DC, a second Canal boat season, and a new transportation study to improve access to Georgetown, we’re blown away by how far Georgetown has come since the pandemic.
2024 Retail in Review
Georgetown welcomed 47 new businesses in 2024, with several reopening. While 36 businesses closed this year, Georgetown had 11 net-positive business openings. In just two years – from January 2023 through January 2025 – Georgetown has welcomed over 100 businesses. This leasing velocity proves that Georgetown remains one of the top neighborhoods for new-to-market retailers, small business owners, and increasingly, destination restaurants.
FY 2024 Budget
Below is the FY24 Georgetown BID budget that was passed at the Board of Directors meeting on 9/21/23.
The Georgetown BID has supported and enhanced Georgetown’s commercial district – both on the street and behind the scenes – since 1999. We periodically look back to remind ourselves and our members of everything we are doing and have done to serve our members. We’ve pulled together a snapshot of the BIDs day-to-day services, one-time projects, annual events, and long-term initiatives over the last 10 years (FY2012 – FY2021) – driven from the ground up by the member feedback we solicit, which informs the priorities reflected in our annual strategic plan and budget.
