The Downtown Development Authority is comprised of citizens representing businesses and property owners of the Downtown District. 

"The mission of the Bellevue Downtown Development Authority is to pursue the revitalization of a traditional, vibrant, and attractive central business district that creates economic opportunities, promotes a unique identity, and enhances the future quality of life for both residents and visitors."

Bellevue's DDA offers a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs, regardless of age or experience, to assist anyone who wants to open a business. The program addresses steps to start a business with only an idea through opening to the public, including mentoring with active business owners or, in Bellevue's case, offering free locations, advertising, and even signage. Resourceful members of Bellevue's DDA hope this progressive approach will attract and keep businesses of any size or service active in a village where several empty storefronts remind of too many businesses coming and gone, some within only a year.

The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) was created to promote and enhance the community's commercial core, preserve public investment, and improve the viability of businesses within the DDA District. The DDA coordinates downtown development, revitalization, business recruitment, and promotion.
