Walter Reed Retail Opportunity Grant (DMPED)

The purpose of the Walter Reed Retail Opportunity Grant is to help provide gap financing for projects that help further diversify retail offerings in support of job creation and economic development at the campus. The program incentivizes the continued diversity of retailers and retail options on the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center campus and in the Brightwood Park, Shepherd Park, and Takoma neighborhoods. The grants under the program will help provide gap financing for projects that help further diversify retail offerings in support of job creation and economic development at the campus. The program will encourage existing and new neighborhood-based retail businesses that seek access to capital to build out a new retail space, improve their place of business, and/or support their on-going operations.
