Bank of America had a long term lease on the property but the location was not viable. They allowed HSMS to use it but ended that arrangement long ago.<br />HSMS has no office anywhere. The phone is forwarded to a cell phone number.to reach Anwar Saleem who may or may not return the call.<br />HSMS is bogus. No one will look at Saleem's misuse of public funding and his intimate connections throughout DC government allow his malfeasance to be financially rewarded.<br />Any more questions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-53122819795244400582014-01-10T11:53:54.948-05:002014-01-10T11:53:54.948-05:008th street branded as Barracks Row has their own f...8th street branded as Barracks Row has their own funds, also additional massive tax payer funds into Eastern market, the Naval Hospital,and the Eastern Market metro stop plaza. They should not be dipping into funds specified for H street businesses.

They used the funds to provide services to the existing small business and also for focus groups and marketing to recruit other business to the area. All in all, if they provided the services...it's a good use of the funds. I can't speak for Barracks Row but I imagine they used the money for similar programming.

Or spent it and didn't change their business model, therefore adding no value to the corridor.<br />Both H St Main Street and Barracks Row Main Street got grants, neither of which has an office on H St (which was a requirement). <br />Al least now, nonprofits like HSMS and BRMS can't get any more cash.<br /><br />There hasn't been much return on this money. Has there been a single new business because of it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-36121947261713553362014-01-06T11:04:07.069-05:002014-01-06T11:04:07.069-05:00This is a reimbursable grant.

So the grantees must spend it on the things they put in their grant app and then the city reimburses them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-83794079476770388502014-01-06T03:46:08.809-05:002014-01-06T03:46:08.809-05:00What happened to the grants to businesses that ne...What happened to the grants to businesses that never opened?
