Objective: Continued progression at development of positive attitudes of the district and working relationships with local stakeholders.

  • Development of Imlay City Downtown Development Authority Mission Statement (although the Authority has established a logo and identified a need for uniformity, a district wide mission statement has yet to be created)
  • Development of DDA Board Committees:
    Design Committee
    Promotion Committee
    Economic Restructuring Committee
    (Committees will include 3 DDA Board Members and will meet one time monthly to discuss activities specifically related to issues directly relating to these areas, committees will then report back to the full board)
    Purpose:
    • Continued development of positive attitudes
    • Shared commitment to future development
    • Working knowledge of activities as they occur
    • Development of greater relationships amongst DDA & stakeholders
