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.
Rural Relief Small Business Grants Program
The next round of the Rural Relief Small Business Grants Program opens today, October 29th.
OneLISC is inviting small business owners in rural locations across the country to apply for the LISC-Lowe's Rural Relief Small Business Grants.
To find out more about who is eligible, to sign up for updates, and to apply, please visit the LISC Website.
Rural LISC is committed to the integrity of the grant application process and to the security of applicants' information. A couple of things to keep in mind:
- Valid grant applications are only accepted through the links posted on the LISC Website.
- We will never request copies of personal documentation such as driver's licenses, passports, and/or green cards.
- The application is easy to fill out, requiring basic business information - professional grant writing assistance will not increase the chances of selection.
Christmas in the Village - DDA Promotions
It's that time of year again and the DDA is offering their Christmas in the Village Promotion to our local businesses. It's $200 to participate in the program with the DDA giving a full match to each business. Checks can be made out to either the Village of Pentwater or Pentwater DDA, and dropped off at Village Hall, 327 S. Hancock St.
For more information about the Christmas in the Village Promotion, please contact Mary Schumaker.
MEDC's Grant Relief
