​“Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community”

​       While most of DC enjoys high quality of life, the drab, long-neglected "drive-through" Ward 5 industrial corridor is poised to anchor the next wave of DC economic growth and industrial diversification.  As the largest ward in DC, Ward 5 includes half of the District's industrial land, large properties ripe for development, an engaged business and civic community, stable residential neighborhoods and industrial core, and strong anchor institutions. Ward 5 political and policy leaders are reimagining Ward 5 as an emerging "clean and green" business sector with New York Avenue as an attractive, welcoming commercial and retail gateway to the nation's capital.
