Synopsis and Activities
DDA Synopsis -2019
Since its inception in 2003, the DDA has completed three major projects that its work plan set out to accomplish. The first is street lighting placed in the median of Gratiot Avenue to make the DDA area safe, bright and inviting. The lights are LED and are currently maintained by the DDA. Second, the DDA contracted with a company to install landscaping improvements in the median on Gratiot Avenue to enhance the median greenspace and make the corridor more inviting. The landscaping is currently maintained by the DDA. Third, the DDA installed new entrance signs at the north and south ends of Gratiot Avenue within the median to clearly delineate the DDA boundaries. These signs are currently maintained by the DDA. During this past year, 2019, after the Planning Department discovered that the Tax Increment Finance Plan and DDA Work Plan had expired without any extension or renewal and a new DDA TIF/Work Plan has been adopted by the DDA and approved by resolution of the Township Board. In addition, the required informational meetings were held in June and December of 2019. The immediate goals of the DDA are to: -Start capturing revenues -Maintain investments made in median landscaping and street lighting -Promote a new Façade Improvement Program to enhance the corridor and to generate additional tax revenues -Promote the Gratiot Cruise As a result of the expiration of the TIF/Work Plan, captured revenues will not be available to the DDA until 2020. |
