The Highland DDA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and revitalizing the downtown district.  It is an organization made up of residents, business owners, property owners, industry owners/operators, community leaders, volunteers, and interested citizens from our community.  It is community-minded people like you who accomplish the tasks, gather the resources and help us reach our goals and set new ones.  Each small success is added to the overall mission of Main Street to create overall growth and renewal.  We can always use more help!

We are a designated Main Street Oakland County program and follow the National Main Street Center’s Four-Point Approach model, which is successful in over 1,200 communities across the U.S.  The Four Points (Design, Promotion, Economic Restructuring/Business Development and Organization) provide a proven comprehensive method for downtown revitalization.  Our funding comes from both the public and private sectors, illustrating the importance of the downtown district to both areas. 

Your participation will help bring about positive results for downtown and make our mission a reality.  If you want to make our downtown an even better place to live, work, and play, then we would like for you to be a part of our growing team.  Please click on the following link to learn more about our Committees  HDDA Board and Committees

What's New

 
The Highland DDA is hard at work on a Sidewalk Project!  The project could include sidewalks on both sides of Milford Road from M-59 south to Snooks Butcher's Shoppe/Colasanti's Produce.    Below are renderings of what the sidewalks could look like.

Mission

 
Who we are & what we do:  The HDDA is comprised of residents, business owners, property owners, industry owners/operators, and community leaders.  We are dedicated to historic preservation and the promotion of economic growth in Highland Station and the surrounding business district, while remaining sensitive to those individuals already living and working in the area.  We strive to implement our plans and advocate for improvements to the area.  Our organization seeks out volunteers as well as community and regional partners with a variety of skills, talent and perspectives.  We also actively cultivate new leadership to ensure ongoing energy and enthusiasm for our community revitalization activities.
 

Vision

 
What we see for the future:  Our vision for the Highland Station district is one of a charming modern hamlet where attractive historical homes, vibrant small businesses and healthy lifestyle amenities appeal to people of all ages, returning Highland Station to its place as the center of our community and a destination within the region.  Highland Station will be an active place that promotes health, fitness and an appreciation for the natural environment as well as a center for the expression and enjoyment of the arts and a meeting place for exchange of ideas and information.  Highland Station will be an oasis and sanctuary from the intense automobile-driven development along the M-59 corridor and will exude a tangible feel and flavor that uplifts the body and soul.
 

Preserving the Past with a Vision for the Future
