The Harrisburg Downtown Improvement District (DID) acknowledges that small business is key to the fabric of the entire downtown community.
We believe the DID Small Business Emergency Fund program recognizes that important role small business plays in building the framework for our downtown community. Therefore, in an effort to help our small business owners who are suffering financially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; the DID will be offering unrestricted funds of up to $2,500 to small business owners whose businesses are located within the DID territory.
