About DDA

The mission of the Monticello Downtown Development Authority is dedicated to the revitalization of downtown, promoting local visitation, and serving as the thriving economic engine of Jasper County. 
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is facilitated by a Board of Directors who act as catalysts for economic development in downtown Monticello. The Mayor and City Council appoint Board members. The Downtown Development Authority Board members serve in a leadership role on new improvement projects and programs within the DDA boundaries, and they raise money from the community for downtown events and revitalization efforts.
The Downtown Development Authority Board meets on the second Monday of each month at 5:00 PM in the DDA Conference Room located at 139 W. Washington Street. The public is welcome at all meetings and is invited to come and hear about the exciting projects that the DDA is working on.
