Mayor Greg Nickels recently presented funding awards totaling $128,384 to 22 Neighborhood Business District Associations throughout Seattle, and $24,440 of it went to four south-end associations:
- African Business Association, $5,000
- Columbia City Business Association, $11,880
- Rainier Beach Merchants Association, $3,850
- Rainier Chamber of Commerce, $3,710
Some examples of the projects funded include creation of new business organizations, tourism initiatives, business district promotion (branding, marketing campaigns, farmers market start-up), and physical improvement and enhancement projects (leaf clean up, curb bulb landscaping and banners).
Columbia City Business Association was the biggest winner with a grant of nearly $12,000 from Seattle’s Office of Economic Development (OED). Photo/do communications, inc.
