Have you noticed the skeletons coming back to life? Downtown Berkley is getting ready to transform into BOO!kley—one of the many community events brought to you by the Downtown Development Authority (DDA). The DDA also organizes favorites like Ladies Night Out, Berkley Pride, and more! Here’s something you might not know: the DDA operates separately from the City of Berkley. It was established by City Council in 1993 as a public authority under Michigan Public Act 197 of 1975. Once the DDA was created, it became a separate legal entity from the City, with its own board of directors. It operates with independent authority, especially when it comes to day-to-day operations, policies, and use of funds.
