Partnering With Our Community

To meet its mission and fulfill its objectives the DDA actively pursues a wide variety of partnerships. These partnerships may be found in both the private and public sectors, including developers and landowners, the City of Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Ann Arbor Public Schools, the Ann Arbor District Library, and the University of Michigan, non-profit organizations and various business associations.

Quote

“A good plaza starts at the street corner. If it’s a busy corner, it has a brisk social life of its own. People will not just be waiting there for the light to change. Some will be fixed in conversation; others, in some phase of a prolonged goodbye. If there’s a vendor at the corner, people with cluster around him, and there will be considerable two-way traffic back and forth between plaza and corner.”
