of Harlem USA, the retail and entertainment complex opened in
2000 which is widely credited with jump starting the resurgence
of Harlem. |

| DC USA is the centerpiece of efforts to transform
the area immediately surrounding the Columbia Heights Metro station
at 14th and Irving Streets. There are currently 600 residential
units underway, the historic Tivoli
Theater has
been renovated and a Giant
Food opened last Spring. "With
its mix of national, regional and local retailers, DC USA proves
that a neighborhood-based retail model works," said Anthony Freeman,
President and CEO of NCRC. "DC USA helps Columbia Heights once
again become a center of commerce: a place to live, work and shop.” |

“For so many years people have had to go outside the District
to do their shopping,“ according to Robert Moore, the President
and CEO of Development Corporation of Columbia Heights, which has
been working for over twenty years to revitalize Columbia Heights
through the development of affordable housing, job training programs
and local business initiatives.
“DC USA will not only bring high quality businesses to Columbia
Heights, but will create good jobs for local residents and good
business opportunities for local and minority businesses.” Moore
confirms. |
