Join us for the first of 3 Panel Discussions

Join leaders from the DC's planning agencies and Business Improvement Districts for a discussion about innovative approaches to revitalizing our urban core through public realm improvements, cultural programming, and enhanced connections between districts.

The discussion will explore strategies for coordinated public and private investments with a special emphasis on the public realm and cultural amenities to create a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable downtown.
