Committees
The Main Street approach relies on community volunteers to help lead these initiatives. The following are specific ways you can get involved.
Join A Committee
Have fun while improving your community. Volunteer committee members are responsible for every DDA success – past, present, and future. This is where the DDA’s most important work is accomplished, where all the nuts and bolts are worked out to transform a general concept into a living, breathing project. The DDA is looking for committed volunteers to continue growing downtown Allen Park. Come join us!
