Noma Improvement Association

Marketing: the association heightens public awareness of the unique mix of commercial, cultural, recreational, monumental, and governmental assets in noma. Working in conjunction with neighborhood businesses and developers, the association promotes noma as a vibrant and engaging community through a bi-weekly newsletter, media outreach, brochures, maps, website and more, providing information to residents, workers, and visitors on noma area activities, development, and markets.

Economic development: the association tracks a wide range of data on noma's resources, growth, and demographics to help inform prospective investors, tenants and other groups about noma's attributes. The data provides information about growth in noma and identifies potential projects and initiatives of importance. Some key metrics tracked are built space and its dedicated uses, tenancy, mode splits and population growth. This information is critical to accurately projecting demands on infrastructure and public space to our partners in the district of columbia government and the private sector.

Events and programming: noma bid organizes and manages more than 25 free community events each year, including an autumnal pumpkin-carving festival, cinomatic spring and fall outdoor movies, an annual outdoor live mural festival, monthly outdoor concerts, a weekly farmers market, and pop-up activations throughout the neighborhood. These events attract upwards of 25,000 people to the neighborhood.
