Anacostia BID Named a Best of the DMV Finalist

We’re honored to share that the Anacostia Business Improvement District has been named a Best of the DMV finalist by The Washington Informer! This recognition means a great deal to us—and it reflects the commitment, energy, and heart of the entire Anacostia community.

BID work is everyday work. It’s early mornings cleaning sidewalks, long days supporting our small businesses, late nights preparing for community events, and ongoing efforts to ensure our corridors are vibrant, safe, and welcoming. It’s behind-the-scenes dedication that often goes unseen—but the results are felt across the neighborhood.

Being recognized as a finalist is a reminder that what we do matters. But the real reward is witnessing Anacostia thrive—seeing our businesses grow, our public spaces activated, our streets cleaner and greener, and our community pride shine brighter each year.

To everyone who supports our mission—residents, entrepreneurs, partners, volunteers, donors, and longtime champions—thank you. Your belief in Anacostia, and in the work we do, fuels every success.

Together, we’re making Anacostia shine every day.
