Hoschton council reviews agreement giving DDA authority over 29 Broad Street
Summary
Council members reviewed an intergovernmental agreement that would authorize the Downtown Development Authority to act on the city's behalf regarding the property at 29 Broad Street ("the garden"). No final vote was recorded; the item remains on the council's agenda for future action.
Hoschton city officials discussed an intergovernmental agreement that would delegate authority over the property at 29 Broad Street — referred to in the meeting as "the garden" — to the Hoschton Downtown Development Authority (DDA). Jessica Martin, introduced at the meeting as the DDA's new chair, was present for the discussion.
City staff described the measure as an authorization for the DDA to act on the city's behalf regarding future uses of the 29 Broad Street parcel. Council members did not take a final vote during the work session; staff presented the agreement as an item for council consideration and invited questions. No public comments were offered on the item during the public-input period.
The discussion did not include specific proposed uses or a timeline for development. City staff noted the item was presented so the council could consider delegating decision-making authority to the DDA, but no motion to adopt the agreement was recorded in the transcript.
The council will have the agreement available in its packet and may place the item on a future public meeting agenda for formal action.
