Downtown Development Authority (DDA)
Downtown Development Authority / Principal Shopping District Board (DDA) exists to promote and improve the downtown district developed under state law. The DDA has the ability to take action for improvement in the City’s designated downtown district.
DDA Board meetings are held monthly, typically the second Wednesday of the month, at 8:00 a.m. All meetings are open to the public and are held in Council Chambers at City Hall, 160 Zoll Street, Harbor Springs, MI 49740. Meeting agendas are typically posted two days prior to the meeting.
Members of the DDA Board are appointed to serve four-year terms. If you are interested in serving on the DDA Board or any of its committees please contact the City Manager Victor Sinadinoski or DDA Administrator at ddadirector@cityofharborsprings.com. The DDA has formed a committee to address the Merchant’s Walkway. The committee will be meeting regularly to develop a design plan for the Merchant’s Walkway. For more information on the committee please contact the DDA Director.
The DDA also maintains and manages their own website and Facebook page. See these locations for additional DDA and event information.
