DDA Master Plan
- Analyze Existing Conditions

- Identify Public Improvements For a Design Enhancement Plan
- Develop a Public Arts Plan
Economic Enhancement Strategy
The Grosse Ile Township Downtown Development Authority (DDA) was established in 1992 as a tool to promote economic growth and
development within the Macomb Street
business district. Under State Law, the DDA may capture tax increment revenues and expend funds toward economic development-related initiatives within the DDA District boundaries.
DDA TIF Plan
The Downtown Development Authority was first conceived in 1991 as a result of Mike Johnson's desire to develop a more viable downtown district on Macomb Street, the heart of Grosse lle's business district. In 1992 Supervisor Bruce Sells appointed the first board of the DDA.
The purpose of DDA is to attract people to Macomb Street. The DDA looks forward to Macomb being the place to walk, gather as a community, or simply visit.
Facade Improvement Grant
The Grosse Ile Township Downtown Development Authority (DDA) was created to
grow, strengthen & promote the economic health and vitality of our downtown business
district on Macomb Street, while generating a greater connection with our residents and
island guests. The purpose of the DDA is to attract people and businesses to Macomb
Street.
Our Grant program provides funding to owners of new businesses moving to the DDA
District or existing businesses that expand or improve their current presence within the
district.
A maximum of $5,000.00 will be awarded to Grant Recipients.
