For all your LDD news!

DDAA Monthly

In 2020, the Northeast Georgia Regional Commission (NEGRC) assisted the City of Hoschton with securing funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC).

The project included construction of a 500,000-gallon elevated water storage tank for the Hoschton water system which increased water storage, pressure, and fire safety for 3,601 households and 153 businesses.

Propose a Presentation or Session at the DDAA Annual Conference!

The Development District Association of Appalachia is holding its Annual Conference in Arlington, Virginia from March 10-13, 2024. We plan to share cutting-edge ideas, highlight success stories and lessons learned, and engage with other LDDs during our annual gathering.

DDAA is seeking compelling session proposals to ensure a comprehensive program. Session proposals should address topics and trends that reflect the wide-ranging needs and interests of member region, states or LDDs, with a focus on this year’s theme of Rural Prosperity.

DEADLINE: Friday, October 20, 2023
