Clayton DDA elects Chairperson

The Clayton Downtown Development Authority (DDA) met on Jan. 26, 2021.  New member, Cassandra Clouser, was elected Chairperson and Karen Bacon Vice Chairperson.  The Charlie Dickerson Park, behind Dickerson Hardware’s old building, was discussed.  This Park is leased from the City of Clayton by the DDA.  A plaque and base honoring Mr. Dickerson was voted on to be installed at a cost of $2,444.  Landscaping and signage are also being researched.  A 501c(6) designation to obtain hotel and motel funds from the City was discussed but the DDA does not qualify. They can receive less restrictive funds from the City for future projects.
