The Southwest Business Improvement District (SWBID) is situated in the Southwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. It weaves together three distinct areas in the 500 acres south of the National Mall: Federal Center South, housing 26 federal headquarters; the Southwest neighborhood, centered around the Waterfront Metrorail Station; and the transformational District Wharf development, located on the waterfront. The SWBID is working to redefine the status quo for cleanliness, state of public infrastructure, beautification, and placemaking throughout Southwest DC. We spearhead initiatives, energize community groups, and convene stakeholders on a range of topics including transportation, hospitality, building management, and the arts.
