Who We Are

The Downtown Cadillac DDA is guided by a volunteer Board of Trustees made up of community members with a connection to the downtown district. The DDA’s primary role is to support the continued improvement, redevelopment, and long-term vitality of Downtown Cadillac through planning, investment, and community partnerships.

What We Do

Board meetings are held monthly and are open to the public. The DDA works alongside the City of Cadillac to approve annual budgets, maintain financial transparency, and share updates on downtown goals. The DDA is also responsible for generating new projects and initiatives with the downtown community.
