Building momentum The Gameplan sets the agenda for future collaboration. Some recommendations have already been implemented. Private sector investors can use it to see how their projects fit together and reinforce each other. DDA will bring the City and County together to discuss projects in the public realm and plan for implementation. The fundamentals of the Gameplan will guide development. The specifics can adapt to market conditions. Documents will be available on the DDA website by the end of the month.
