The citywide Development Authority was established to build on the success of the Downtown Development Authority. It is empowered to work with neighborhood business districts and other commercial zoning districts in the city. The Authorities hold joint meetings on the second Friday of each month at 8 a.m. in the Conference Room of the Downtown Development Authority at 100 E. Trinity Pl. Current members are: Sheila A. Hunt (chair), Ed Bowen (vice-chair), Fred Cavalli, Bruce Cohen**, John Drake, John Joyner*, Jim Philips, Betty Spiker.
