Mission
The Downtown Development Authority of Augusta was re-established in 1992 by Act of General Assembly to renew, revitalize and beatify distressed areas of downtown Augusta. As an independent public agency that is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the Richmond County Commission, DDA works with local government and the private sector to strengthen the economic climate of downtown Augusta.
DDA’s mission is to lead a coordinated strategy of economic development and civic design strengthening downtown Augusta as:
- The heart of the city of all Augustans;
- The economic hub of the region;
- A prosperous place for business and institutions; and
- An attractive urban environment for residents and visitors.
