Overview
Due to an increasing membership and limited space, HacDC has decided to start looking into new space. The monthly surplus is adding up and will eventually result in enough savings to make moving possible. Also, 501c3 status will help in the negotiation of a lower rent, and that is coming up sooner or later.
Below, please add your comments on requirements for the new space, space viewings, or space listings that seem interesting and should be viewed.
NOTE: For properties, please add google map link, address, rent info, photos, and contact info if available.
