Why the Anacostia BID Matters
The Anacostia Business Improvement District plays a critical role in supporting the businesses, culture, and public spaces that make Anacostia unique.
From helping small businesses access resources and visibility, to keeping commercial corridors clean, welcoming, and activated, the BID works to strengthen the local economy while preserving community identity. Through events, arts programming, and partnerships, the BID brings people together and showcases Anacostia’s creativity and history.
Just as important, the BID serves as a connector — sharing opportunities, advocating for equitable development, and ensuring Anacostia has a strong voice in citywide conversations.
A strong Anacostia BID means a stronger neighborhood: vibrant streets, supported local businesses, and a future shaped by the community that calls Anacostia home.
