ObviouslyDC

Washington, DC is a resilient city that pivots and grows in the face of challenges. We will continue to be the best city in the world to do business, bring big ideas to life, and set the standard for inclusive prosperity.

DC Economic Strategy

DMPED is updating Washington, DC’s economic development strategy to guide economic development efforts for the next five years. The new strategy will replace DC’s current Economic Strategy, which expires in 2022.

Homeownership

To address the racial disparities in homeownership and household wealth in the District, Mayor Bowser created a Black Homeownership Strike Force.

FY22 Business Funding Opportunities

Various existing and new grant programs will be available through the DMPED cluster in fiscal year 2022 to support economic recovery by providing support to businesses and entrepreneurs. Check here for Program details.

While we continue to take all precautions to protect public health during the ongoing pandemic, DC is open!
