We've released our 2022-2026 Strategic Plan! We’ve developed an interconnected system of strategic initiatives that are aimed at achieving one over-arching goal: Making NoMa Magnetic.
Visit Alethia Tanner Park where you can connect from the Metropolitan Branch Trail to the Q Street NE bike lane at the southern end of the park.
Our Neighborhood Guide is online and mobile-friendly. Find sites of interest, places to dine and shop, hotels to stay in, and ways of getting around NoMa. The guide is updated regularly, so you’ll always be in the know.
The area now called NoMa has seen incredible changes since British settlers first arrived in the early 1700s. Learn how this central part of the District has evolved on our new history page.
NoMa is a vibrant, growing neighborhood nestled next to Capitol Hill, Shaw and Mt. Vernon Triangle, and the H Street NE corridor in Washington, D.C. NoMa is the hip, smart center of the nation’s capital, with free outdoor WiFi, terrific walkability, a slew of transit options, and a lengthy stretch of the Metropolitan Branch Trail.
