Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority Switches Focus

Recently I read a complaint that the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority had become a pocketbook for the Mayor and City Council. It was written by a former AADDA board member who felt the Authority should be building more parking lots.

It looks like instead of parking lots, the Authority is focusing on encouraging downtown green development. In a post by Judy McGovern of the Ann Arbor news http://blog.mlive.com/annarbornews/2008/06/ann_arbor_dda_shifts_focus_of.html, she describers how the DDA is switching it's focus to ensuring that Ann Arbor building owners have the funding and the leadership to make downtown buildings energy efficient.
