The Downtown Development Authority was reactivated in 2012 with the appointment of seven volunteers with real estate development and market expertise, according to the authority’s website.
The group’s duties include pursuing economic opportunities and public-private partnerships to stimulate business growth while maintaining the city’s small-town character. It advises developers, issues bonds to finance development, and collaborates with Roswell Inc., the city’s economic development agency.
