The City of Hancock recognized the need to promote economic stabilization, expansion and revitalization and to make capital improvements in the downtown corridor to eliminate causes for decline in property values. The city established a Tax increment Financing Authority (TIFA) in accordance with Public Act 197 of 1975 and in 1976, the Hancock Downtown Development Authority (DDA) was born. Through the years, the Authority District boundaries have changed but the mission remains the same.

The DDA meets on the first Monday of the month, at 6:00 PM at the City Hall Council Chambers. Members of the public are welcome to attend and are encouraged to share their thoughts during the Public Comment period.
