Boards

We consist of two non-profit organizations dedicated to preserving the health and vitality of The District: The Columbia Special Business District and the Central Columbia Association. The SBD, funded primarily by property owners, is an organization dedicated to beautification, business recruitment and other issues. The CCA is a merchants' association funded by contributions and dedicated to promoting shopping, dining and entertainment.
