In addition to
conventional retail business, Columbia Heights' new high-density
residential developments will generate a significant level
of demand for basic neighborhood support services: dry cleaners,
hair salons, optometrists, dental care, shoe repair, florists,
tailoring, video rental, entertainment venues, cafés,
and niche specialties such as yoga and fitness facilities. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
These emerging
enterprises, re energizing the area west toward 16th and east
toward the once-flourishing 11th street business corridor,
will entrain an unprecedented need for the deployment of individuals
with customer service skills. Neighborhood Jobs Initiative
is actively developing a new curriculum to prepare Columbia
Heights residents for these new opportunities. |
