BRISTOL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
The Bristol Development Authority (BDA) works to improve the physical, economic and social environment of the Bristol Community by serving as the primary governmental organization dedicated to promoting commercial development, to preserving and improving the City's housing stock and to securing and administering the resources required to carry out these goals. The BDA is overseen by an appointed nine-member Board of Commissioners which governs economic and community development policies for the City.
