Watch the BID's new 3 minute video now available online. Working with Interface Multimedia, the Capitol Riverfront developed the video to market and promote the area.

With a variety of footage shot in the neighborhood, the video also shows impressive animations of the Yards project on the river. The video will enhance the BID's new branding and Be Out Front campaign. If you would like a dvd of the video, contact Ted Skirbunt at tedskirbunt@capitolriverfront.org. |
