Mission
Our mission is to ensure that Columbia Heights is a place where small businesses can flourish because small businesses and diverse economic activity are the hallmark of a thriving, connected, and safe community. We believe that small businesses and filled storefronts bring foot traffic, which can have larger effects on the neighborhood like safer streets and sidewalks, improved infrastructure, and a more interconnected community. We aim to support existing small businesses, further the work of relevant organizations, and foster economic development reflective of the culture and needs of our Columbia Heights.
The SBED Committee has four main pillars:
- Support existing small businesses
- Serve as central ABRA resource for 1A
- Engage with organizations and agencies doing the work embodied by our mission statement
- Realize unmet economic opportunity
