DDA welcomes attorney to board

An attorney is the latest addition to the Oxford Downtown Development Authority’s Board of Directors.
Last week, the village council appointed Bloomfield Hills attorney Paul A. DePorre to a vacant seat on the DDA.
Although he’s not a resident, DePorre has owned property in downtown’s Central Business District since 2004. He also owns commercial properties in Rochester, Bloomfield, Warren, Troy and Lake Orion.
His law practice specializes in real estate, business and estate planning.
DePorre’s interested in improving the downtown’s image as a shopping/dining destination and making the area more pedestrian-friendly.
