Brunswick Downtown Development Authority (DDA)
is a public corporation created by legislation to revitalize, develop, and promote the Downtown Brunswick district.
We are proud to play an important role in the economic development of downtown Brunswick. Our purpose is to redevelop the business district,
promote new business, trade, commerce, industry and employment opportunities. The DDA works to create a warm and inviting environment for
new and old business.
DDA provides new businesses downtown with important resources and assistance, including information about grants and loans, commercial property
listings, small business start-up information and contact information.
There are certain powers that the DDA is entitled to because it is created by legislation and is considered a city entity. The DDA has
the authority
to make policies and decisions regarding downtown. DDA also has the power to offer tax-exempt financing.
The DDA consists of seven members on the board of directors, eight members on the advisement board, an executive director, program manager and
program
assistant.
Regular meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 8 a.m. at Old City Hall. Meetings are open to the public.
