The services, funded by assessments paid by commercial property interests throughout the District, include public safety programs, an award-winning graffiti abatement program, maintenance of major thoroughfares, and disposal of illegally dumped trash. The District’s grant-funded capital program focuses on connecting neighborhoods and business to transit, and will result in $43 million in improvements through 2021.
