Downtown Development Authority

Overview

The Negaunee Downtown Development Authority is responsible in part to correct and prevent deterioration of business districts; to promote economic growth and revitalization; and to encourage historic preservation.

The DDA has many tools at its disposal to help accomplish these tasks. These tools include the acquisition and disposal of interests in real and personal property; authorize the levy and collection of taxes, the issuance of bonds and the use of tax increment financing in the accomplishment of specific downtown development activities contained in locally‐adopted development plans.

The Negaunee DDA encourages you to read our Downtown Development Plan to learn more about our programs, projects, and investment. Feel free to contact us if you are looking to start or expand your businesses in Downtown Negaunee or if you have any question regarding our programs.
