DDA Could See New Help

The Downtown Development Authority could see more help according to their meeting on Wednesday, August 12.

Members of the DDA approved a motion to grant Chairman Larry Robinson permission to look into the possibility of adding on an intern who has volunteered her time. Though no agreement or details on the position have been reached yet, the DDA is anxious for the possibilities of additional support for organization and office assistance as well as social media control.

Also in the meeting, the DDA reported a total of 28 posts and 9 planks sold for memorial plaques on the downtown boardwalk raising over $1,600 in additional funds. This money returns to the DDA as they prepare for the next step of the care for the boardwalk which is to include staining the wood. You can still purchase these tags from the DDA or online at Indiegogo.
