The Design Committee is focused on enhancing the appearance of our commercial corridors, preserving and rehabilitating historic structures and buildings, improving streetscapes, taking advantage of our assets and improving them with good design.
Committee Events and Work Plan Projects
Tree Box Grant Program - HDCMS has appropriated $6,000
from the 2006 Spring Fling for merchants and
commercial property owners to invest in iron tree box borders around the trees
abutting their properties. Congratulations to
La Tomate and The Leather Rack for
being the first Dupont Circle businesses to participate.
Graffiti Control SWAT Team - In the afternoon of the Second Thursday of
every month HDCMS volunteers hit the streets of Dupont Circle to remove graffiti
from the commercial corridors. More volunteers are always welcome so
please contact the HDCMS Executive Director. If you are a commercial
property owner in Dupont Circle and would like the HDCMS SWAT Team to remove
graffiti from your building please fill out the below liability waiver and
return it to HDCMS.

Snow Business - This is the annual Dupont Circle holiday display competition.
HDCMS encourages businesses to get ready for the holiday season early, in
October, so that HDCMS can market the commercial district to coincide with the
holidays!
Triangle Park Improvements - The HDCMS Design Committee is working very closely
with the National Park Service to improve the design elements of the triangle
park bordered by Q Street, Connecticut Avenue and 20th Street.
