The Chamblee Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Enhancement Grant Program exists to promote sustainable economic development in Chamblee’s central business district. The Downtown Development Authority may support qualified economic development projects with funds for certain physical improvements to eligible buildings within the district. These funds are granted only in consideration of major capital investments by private enterprise that may otherwise be cost-prohibitive due to the age, condition, or unique characteristics of the building, or any other conditions that might prevent a business from occupying the space. The program seeks to increase economic activity in Downtown Chamblee by incentivizing the creation of safe and attractive spaces that house viable businesses.
