Mission & Board Members

The Madison Heights Downtown Development Authority (DDA) was created in 1997 to support downtown businesses by eliminating blight, facade improvement and streetscape projects and encouraging development. The Downtown District of Madison Heights is located along John R Rd from Gardenia Ave to 10 Mile and along 11 Mile Road from I-75 to Lorenz St. Our board is committed to creating a more welcoming, pedestrian friendly, vibrant downtown district.
