NEWS: ANC 2B considering new grants policies/procedures

The ANC will be considering a new set of policies and procedures for providing grants.  In recent years, the ANC has provided grants on an ad hoc basis, and the draft policies and procedures would formalize and normalize how the ANC considers grants.

NEWS: Listening Session on Proposed 14th & U Liquor Moratorium

Advisory Neighborhood Commissions from U Street, Logan and Dupont Holding Listening Session on Proposed 14th & U Liquor Moratorium

Wednesday March 20, 2013
7:00 – 9:00pm
Thurgood Marshall Center
1816 12th St NW

Members from the U Street (1B), Logan Circle (2F) and Dupont Circle (2B) ANCs will be holding a joint listening session to hear directly from the residents and the business community about a proposed Liquor Moratorium for 14th and U Streets. The meeting will be an opportunity for the neighborhood to speak directly to their elected officials who will be voting over the next few months on whether to support a moratorium in the area. Special invited guests include representatives from the Alcoholic Beverage Regulatory Agency, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Shaw Dupont Citizens Alliance, who proposed the moratorium.

Though this is the only joint meeting being held on the proposal, ANCs may hold additional smaller meetings – decisions or actions will not be taken at this meeting. Organizers intend to give each participant 1-2 minutes to speak and request that members of the community direct their comments to the ANC Commissioners present.

Please share this announcement with your friends and neighbors and be sure to attend this listening session to have your voice heard as the community debates a moratorium at 14th and U.
