Village Government > Council, Boards and Commissions > Downtown Development Authority
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.
What We Do
The Downtown Development Authority consists of a wonderful group of volunteer board members who work to ensure our community stays vibrant and welcoming. Established in 1993, the DDA has put great effort into embracing their responsibilities and have accomplished many great projects in their short establishment, with many future projects in the works.
