FY25 Annual Report
The Georgetown BID’s FY2025 Annual Report shares our key accomplishments and commercial district developments in the areas of economic development, public space enhancements, street services, public safety, and marketing and events programming from October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025. From ushering in the next generation of organizational leadership, to welcoming 55 new businesses and more than 14 million visitors, conducting 240 business safety checks, working with stakeholders to navigate a transitioning streatery program, and producing another record-breaking French Market, we are proud of the work that was done to ensure Georgetown remains the number one commercial district in DC.
2025 Market Review
Georgetown welcomed 57 new businesses in 2025. While 32 businesses closed, the commercial district saw 25 net-positive business openings. In just two years – from January 2024 through December 2025 – Georgetown has welcomed over 100 businesses and remains the top destination for new-to-market retailers, small business owners, and, increasingly, destination restaurants.
The Georgetown BID has supported and enhanced Georgetown’s commercial district – both on the street and behind the scenes – since 1999. We periodically look back to remind ourselves and our members of everything we are doing and have done to serve our members. We’ve pulled together a snapshot of the BIDs day-to-day services, one-time projects, annual events, and long-term initiatives over the last 10 years (FY2012 – FY2021) – driven from the ground up by the member feedback we solicit, which informs the priorities reflected in our annual strategic plan and budget.
