Downtown Development Authority

In August 1993, The Pentwater Village Council voted to enact the Downtown Development Authority Ordinance #145 to establish the DDA with this statement of purpose: "The purposes of the authority is to implement Act 197 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1975, as amended, including, but are not limited to, the correction and prevention of deterioration in the downtown district, the creation and implementation of development plans in the downtown district, and the promotion of economic growth therein." Since then, volunteer board members from the Village have been working to ensure that our community stays healthy and vibrant.

The DDA holds regular meetings on the second Wednesday every even month at 10:00am in the Pentwater Village Community Hall. The public is always welcome and time is allotted for public comment.
