DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY by Council

The governing body of the municipality appoints these members – council votes and the mayor would not vote unless there is a tie.  (OCGA 36-42-4)
Directors must be:   
1) Taxpayers residing in the municipal corporation;
2) Owner or operators of businesses located within the downtown development area and who shall be taxpayers of Laurens County; or
3) someone who has a combination of the qualifications of 1) and 2), but one director may be the mayor or a council member.   
No less than four directors having the qualifications of just #1 above shall (in the judgment of the mayor and council) either have or represent a party who has an economic interest in the redevelopment and revitalization of the downtown development area. 
Notwithstanding the requirements above – one director appointed may reside outside of the county; provided, however, that they own a business within the downtown development area and are a resident of the state.
