Advocacy Updates & Alerts
The MDA strives to educate members, the public, State legislators, and other
public officials about the best tools for the improvement of communities.
Downtown Lansing
The MDA has retained the services of Midwest Strategy Group (MWSG). MWSG and the MDA have created a lobbying strategy to benefit MDA members and downtown management organizations across Michigan. MWSG sends the MDA Director and Advocacy Committee members a weekly update regarding pertinent activities, legislation, and communications from Lansing. MWSG also continues to grow awareness of the MDA organization, our mission, and the importance of Michigan downtowns with key legislators at the state level.
The MDA encourages all DDA and Downtown Managers and stakeholders to be reaching out to their local representatives and senators and continue to build relationships.
Providing advocacy for our members, Downtown Development Authorities, and other downtown management organizations, is one of the MDA's top priorities. The partnership with MWSG, timely communications with members, Advocacy Day, and other resources are made possible because of contributions to our Advocacy Fund.
