Susan Pollay, Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority

Ann Arbor SPARK CEO Podcasts: Conversations on Economic Opportunity capture the flavor of my one-on-one conversations with over one hundred key economic leaders in the region, including private sector CEOs, elected and appointed public sector leaders, and the executive leadership of key non-profit and academic institutions. The podcast series is designed to not only highlight that expertise, but also make it available to others who could benefit from the wisdom those business leaders can share.

For more than 16 years Susan Pollay has served as the Executive Director of the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority (DDA). In her role, Susan works with a 12-member board and oversees a wide variety of DDA projects and programs for the downtown Ann Arbor area.

In my conversation Susan, she discusses what drew her to Ann Arbor and why she fell madly in love with the city. Susan also talks about the DDA's role in alternative transportation programs and what she feels are the greatest accomplishments of the DDA.
