D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser kicked off her second term on Jan. 3 by participating in the groundbreaking ceremony for a Good Food Markets location in Ward 8.

The new store will offer job opportunities and fresh food options to the wardโ€™s Bellevue community.

Through the Neighborhood Prosperity Fund, an initiative launched by Bowser, South Capitol Improvement LLC received an $880,000 grant to support space for a grocer tenant as part of a 225,000 square-foot development that will also include 195 units of affordable housing.
