Understanding Downtown Development Authorities

 

Downtown Development Authorities (DDA) and their appointed boards are created to revitalize and redevelop the central business districts of cities in Georgia.

 

 

DDAs have a range of powers:

  • developing and promoting downtowns

  • making long-range plans or proposals for downtowns

  • financing (by loan, grant, lease, borrow or otherwise) projects for the public good

  • executing contracts and agreements

  • purchasing, leasing and selling property

  • issuing revenue bonds and notes

All Downtown Development Authority board members must take at least 8 hours of training on downtown development and redevelopment programs within the first 12 months of their appointment to the Downtown Development Authority.
