Mission Statement
The general mission of the
Downtown Development Authority is to carry out, as
appropriate, a revised inventory and analysis of the downtown's current characteristics
and explore future visions, goals, marketing strategies, needs, etc., culminating in the
next generation of a Downtown Master Plan which will carry Perry into the new
century.
What is the DDA?
The Perry Downtown
Development Authority (DDA) is a quasi-governmental entity affiliated with
the City of Perry. Goals of the DDA are directed toward planning and
management of development and improvement activities, marketing and
promotion, business recruitment and retention activities, capital
improvements, and administrative costs.
What are the benefits of
being located with the DDA District?
The Perry DDA advocates for
downtown, and therefore, can serve as a valuable resource for your
business. The DDA supports downtown businesses in terms of : 1)
Acting as a liaison with City, County, and State officials on behalf of
downtown; 2) Assisting property owners with improvement projects; 3)
Funding (entirely or partially) downtown beautification programs
(planters, public streetscape improvements, redevelopment of public
spaces, etc.); 4) Actively recruiting businesses that complement the
business mix and generate pedestrian traffic; 5) Publishing downtown
marketing materials; 6) Coordinating and supporting downtown special
events to attract people downtown; and 7) Addressing downtown challenges
and implementing short-term solutions while considering long-term
infrastructure improvements.
Who is the DDA?
The Perry DDA is comprised
of a volunteer Board of Directors committed to the improvement and
revitalization of downtown Perry. The Board establishes the long
term vision and serves to accomplish those defined objectives.
