The Grand Junction, Colorado, Downtown Development Authority (“Authority” or “DDA”) adopted a Plan of Development (“Plan”) establishing the boundaries of the Authority. The Plan and the boundaries of the DDA were initially approved by the Grand Junction City Council on December 16, 1981.

In exchange, the Board of Trustees agreed that receipt of the funds was conditioned upon the inclusion of Mesa County Library District properties into the Authority’s boundaries.
