Village of Grass Lake DDA Beginnings:

The Grass Lake Village Council authorized the establishment of the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) in 1990. It was then that the DDA started a plan to revive historic downtown buildings and to promote the community as a destination, while maintaining the quality of life for our local community. A key part of the DDA's mission is to support the success of our current downtown businesses, while working to establish new retail and service businesses in our beautiful downtown.

Grass Lake offers a destination for a wide array of visitors from antique and thrift store enthusiasts, to bicyclists and runners, and to those here to enjoy our namesake lake. The Copper Nail Community Resale Shop and the Architectural Salvage business/buildings bring visitors looking to shop for the unique and eclectic. While here they can visit the Lost Railway Museum, the Grass Lake Historical Society / Coe House and grab a beverage at the Roaming Goat Coffee shop, or a burger from Missy's Little Grass Shack. Many other businesses support locals and visitors alike. Look for more information on all we offer downtown soon on this website and on our social media!

Grass Lake isn't just a great place to visit - it's a great place to call home.

Accomplishments

Given time, a lot of small things can be accomplished leading to a number of big things.
The accomplishments over the years paved the way for a number of things in the downtown area.
Even with the limitations of Michigan Avenue downtown, it's those small things that tend to get the wheels rolling to the point where the downtown district went from six empty buildings down to one.
Some of the following projects and accomplishments demonstrate those small and major successes.
