# 11/12/2026 DDA Meeting-City of Lincoln Park

The City of Lincoln Park DDA met on November 12, 2026. The board approved the July DDA invoice for $150 and adopted a sign grant program offering up to $2,000 per grant, with no more than 10 grants per year (a potential maximum of $20,000 annually). It also approved a façade/site improvement grant application for Azar’s women’s clothing shop; reimbursement is to follow completion of the work and submission of supporting documentation, with no project amount stated. The board approved moving forward with the DIA Partners in Public Art program, which the presenter said would be funded by the DIA apart from minor wall preparation. A public commenter asked about a separate $150,000 mural proposal discussed in July, including its feasibility study, cost detail, and competitive bids; those questions were not answered in the transcript.

The DDA scheduled a special meeting for November 17 at 5:00 p.m. to consider awarding a snow contract after bids are opened; no bids, vendor, or award amount were reported. Members also discussed an early-stage MDOT proposal for a Fourth Street road diet with bike lanes and parking, noting that future maintenance could create a financial obligation for the DDA and city; no decision was made. Other updates covered the farmers market, holiday events, Michigan Main Street participation, and a proposed volunteer planter-box adoption effort.
