FUNDING APPROVED FOR CLEAN AND SAFE PROGRAM THROUGH 2011

North Capitol Main Street is pleased to announce approval of its grant proposal submitted to the DC Department of Small & Local Business Development for continued funding to support the highly popular NCMS Litter Cleanup Assistance Program --through the 2011 fiscal year. In addition to keeping our streets clean - all those beautiful corner pots and hanging planters are the work of the Clean Team and further improvements are in the pipeline for 2011.

Residents, NCMS businesses and business patrons are all pleased with the results achieved by the Clean & Safe team. Catania Bakery owner, Nicole Tramonte, commented that the difference in the streetscape in front of her business is remarkable - "It's never been so clean! Friday and Saturday night were just disasters!!" She said because of the high pedestrian traffic on her block, the trash was so high in the past she couldn't keep up with it alone. She is thrilled with the service.

Tell us how you like the work of the Clean Team and what we could do better. Share your thoughts at www.ncmsinc.org .

North Capitol Main Street is funded by The DC Department of Small and Local Business Development and is an officially recognized DC Main Street Program.
