Business and Retail Opportunities Seminar, Saturday, November 12, 2005

From Janet Lugo-Tafur:

You are cordially invited to attend the Development Corporation of Columbia Heights Retail Opportunities Seminar to be held at the Reeves Center at 2000 14th Street Northwest on Saturday, November 12, 2005 from 8AM – 2:30PM. We will be hosting a dynamic group of presenters from development companies, retail businesses, local agencies, organizations and franchise companies this year. We believe that the seminar will be an important event for the following reasons:

-- Developers, franchises and real estate agents from various companies will be present to provide an update on recent development activities, retail opportunities, available financing and answer questions. The seminar is a valuable opportunity for potential entrepreneurs, business owners, financing entities, leasing agents and developers to interact in both group and one-on-one settings.

-- This is a wonderful showcase opportunity for real estate agents and developers to for the local and business community to know what is being built and what is available in their neighborhood.

-- Entrepreneurs and business owners can find out what’s available for retail businesses and how-to-get the financing to make it possible.

-- The showcase is for all projects developed, under development planned for Columbia Heights, U Street, Shaw, Georgia Avenue, surrounding areas and across the city.

There will be a $20 registration fee per participant. The event will be followed by a reception from 12:45PM – 2:30PM.
Please extend this invitation to as many people interested in starting or expanding a business. The time is NOW. If you have any further questions, please contact the DCCH Business Development office at 202-483-4986.
