About Us
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is primarily a policy-making and major decision-making entity that plans and manages the downtown area. The DDA is a corporate body recognized by State law as an important tool in downtown redevelopment to bring about revitalization and economic development of the central business district. The DDA can work with volunteers from the local business association, citizens, the city, and county to bring about the revitalization of the downtown area or depending on a set of criteria for qualification, a DDA may choose to initiate a Main Street or Better Hometown Redevelopment.
LDDA’s mission is to prevent the deterioration of property values and to assist in the development and redevelopment of the business opportunities within the City of Lithonia district.
“Building a Bigger, Better, Lithonia”
