In collaboration with the Southwest Business Improvement District (SWBID) and Capitol Riverfront BID, the DC MID recently hosted National Science Foundation CIVIC Innovation Challenge Grant awardees. The CIVIC Grant participants explored public-private partnerships that drive innovation at the intersection of mobility, placemaking, and public space management in our growing neighborhoods. Mitch LaRosa (Director of the DC MID), Lexie Albe (Managing Director of SWBID), Yi Berinato (Planning Manager at CRBID), and Rick Birt (Director of DC's Highway Safety Office) also led a panel discussion on scaling up pilot projects to align with community needs.
