Loganville DDA discusses member vacancies, event planning and outreach to council
Summary
The Downtown Development Authority reviewed open board seats and eligibility, recapped a $500 fundraising event, and discussed partnering on summer movies, morning mingles and holiday activities while agreeing to seek city-council input on RFQ language.
The Loganville Downtown Development Authority used part of Tuesday’s meeting to review open DDA seats, recent sponsored events and potential community programming.
Members reported that only a few candidates have applied to fill open spots on the DDA and reviewed eligibility rules: the board discussed that state law requires several directors to have an economic interest in the development area (a member said at least four directors; Paul was asked to confirm). Members talked about downtown business-owner requirements for certain seats and whether expanding the overlay area would affect eligibility.
On events, the board praised Joanne’s recent fundraiser, which raised $500. Members discussed reviving the morning mingle, partnering with Christie (city staff or volunteer contact referenced) on movie nights on the green and coordinating with the Lions Club for trick-or-treat events. They noted licensing costs for streaming movies and the need for sponsorships. One member volunteered to contact local Lion Club leadership to explore partnerships.
The group also discussed outreach to city council for feedback on DDA RFQ concepts, noting the council has decided against appointing a liaison to the board. Members planned to send a general email to councilmembers to confirm they are aligned with the DDA’s draft approach and agreed to avoid speaking for the entire board when contacting council individually.
No formal appointment or vote on membership was taken at the meeting; members encouraged potential applicants to submit materials and asked staff to confirm eligibility rules with Paul before making final selections.
