The Ellijay Downtown Development Authority (DDA) held its meeting yesterday afternoon. Offering the Treasurer’s report, Jeff Riblet stated the Downtown Development Authority’s account ended the year with $5,305. The DDA is planning to move forward into the new year looking to further their City Development Plans with several currently undisclosed opportunities.
The Ellijay DDA also officially approved the slate of officers nominated in their December Meeting. These new officers officially took their places with this vote. Jim Stover took position as Chairman, Brad Simmons took position as Vice Chair, and Jeff Riblet maintained his position as Treasurer. The motion was put forth by Kent Sanford, the Vice Chair of the DDA. This is one of the final actions by Sanford as he and Al Fuller are set to rotate off of the Board as their terms are ending.
The first action after the restructure came as a presentation by Paige Green of the Gilmer Chamber. The Downtown Development Authority has agreed to host a Business After Hours event for the Chamber in June. Currently, they plan to hold this event on June 16 on the Boardwalk from 4:30 to 6:30.
