In Memory*

We want to honor the lives and contributions of Mr. David Lyon and Mr. Richard Hessler, former Directors of the Roswell Downtown Development Authority. Their efforts helped make Roswell a better city and we thank them for their service.


A DDA within Georgia consists of a board of seven directors who are appointed by the municipal governing authority to serve staggered four-year terms. Directors are appointed by the governing body and must be taxpayers who live in the city or they must own or operate a business located within the downtown development area. They must also be taxpayers who live in the county in which the city is located. One of the directors can be a member of the municipal governing authority. Board members do not receive any compensation for serving on the DDA, except for reimbursement for actual expenses incurred in performing their duties. Learn more about how a board is selected at the Georgia Municipal Authority.
