Plain-language change summary

The recently amended version of the bill clarifies that the DC Community Development Consortium Institute is the correct recipient of a grant intended for supporting entrepreneurs in Ward 8, instead of the previously named Ward 8 Community Investment Fund. This change was necessary because the originally named entity was not officially recognized, which could have prevented the release of funds aimed at helping local businesses. By correcting the name, the legislation ensures that allocated funds can be effectively used to benefit small businesses in the area.
