Tif Plan/Work Plan
About the DDASince its inception in 2003, the DDA has completed three major projects that its work plan set out to accomplish.
The first was street lighting placed in Gratiot Avenue's median to make the DDA area safe, bright, and inviting. The lights are LED and are serviced by the DDA. Second, the DDA contracted with a company to install landscaping improvements in Gratiot Avenue's median to enhance the greenspace and make the corridor more inviting. The DDA currently maintains the landscaping.
