ReLaunch National Landing
Small businesses are the backbone of our community. To help them thrive, the National Landing Business Improvement District has launched an economic development program that provides technical assistance to local legacy businesses. A new, dedicated investment of $75,000 through a program called ReLaunch National Landing – in partnership with Arlington Economic Development's BizLaunch division – provides support to National Landing businesses that have served the community for ten or more years.
How to apply
Legacy, small businesses in Crystal City, Pentagon City, any Potomac Yard that have been in business for ten or more years – and have 50 or fewer employees – are eligible to apply for the ReLaunch National Landing program, in partnership with Arlington Economic Development.
