The LDDA Board of Directors has design review authority over redevelopment, new construction and signage within the LDDA district. The LDDA district surrounds the Munn Park Historic District, which has its own set of design guidelines. Please review the map linked below to determine which district your project is located in so that you can follow the appropriate guidelines.
