Noma Business Improvement District

Located at the heart of Washington, D.C., the NoMa Business Improvement District (NoMa BID) was created by the District of Columbia City Council and approved by the Mayor in March 2007. The NoMa BID is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization whose mission is to create a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for residents, workers, and visitors and to promote the redevelopment and growth of NoMa. Its main tasks include: • Providing cleaning and safety services • Promoting NoMa through marketing, unified branding, and free community events • Coordinating public and private investments and services • Enhancing the community through projects with NoMa neighbors The NoMa BID encompasses 35 blocks just north of Union Station. A former industrial area, NoMa is among the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the District and comprises 12.8 million square feet of office space, 4,800 residential units, and 360,000 square feet of neighborhood-serving retail. Significantly, there are also tens of thousands of residents in established communities in and around NoMa who use the services and amenities in the commercial core of NoMa. The area is supported by unparalleled public transportation access, with two Red Line Metro stations, as well as VRE, MARC, and Amtrak connections at Union Station, and is a globally recognized example of successful transit-oriented development.
