Welcome to the online home of the Buena Vista Downtown Development Authority!  The Downtown Development Authority, or “DDA”, is comprised of a nine-member board appointed by the Township Supervisor and confirmed by the Township Board of Trustees.  Per Michigan law, a majority of the members must have legal interest (ownership or representation) in properties within the DDA District.    

Please navigate through our site to learn about the role of DDAs in Michigan, for a list of our members, and for critical plans and studies related to DDA activities, including the redevelopment of the former Ft. Saginaw Mall.

In December of 2023, Buena Vista Charter Township was officially certified as a Redevelopment Ready Community by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation!
