Downtown Moving 2014 ANNUAL REPORT AND 2015 CALENDAR MOVING DOWNTOWN FORWARD PLANNING FOR UNPRECEDENTED DOWNTOWN GROWTH As a long-time supporter of Central Atlanta Progress, I’m honored to serve as the 2014–16 Chairman. Since its inception in 1941, CAP has been viewed among its peers as a convener of ideas and initiatives that spark innovation and positive change for the city. With more than $2 billion of new investment currently under construction or planned for the heart of the city, we are on the cusp of a new and exciting chapter. Over the next two years, CAP will focus its collec- tive efforts on its Be Downtown campaign to catalyze new private investment in support of core infrastructure improvements and enhancements to the business environment and overall quality of life. Now is the time to invest in our future in order to realize the full potential of the heart of the city. —Dave Stockert, CAP Chair Since its formation in 1995, the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District (ADID) has played a significant role in the transformation of Downtown. Today, the central city is a workplace for 118,000 metro Atlan- tans, a place of learning for more than 62,000 univer- sity students, a home to more than 23,000 residents, and a destination for more than 22 million convention attendees each year. With the approach of our 20th anniversary, we launched a detailed survey to understand the impact of safety, attractiveness, convenience, and entertainment on the Down- town experience. In executing on this strategy, ADID continues its mission of building and investing in a safe, hospitable, clean, and vibrant Downtown, and supporting the growth and development of one of America’s most economically and culturally important cities.

MOVING DOWNTOWN FORWARD The New York Times got it right last year when it selected Downtown Atlanta for inclusion in its annual round-up of the world’s top 52 Places to Go in 2014. Citing the new Atlanta Streetcar, the opening of the Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the College Football Hall of Fame, the Times heralded the continuing revitalization of Atlanta’s city center. Truly, it was a banner year for Downtown Atlanta and Central Atlanta Progress! In addition to the opening of the streetcar and world-class attrac- tions, initiatives on which CAP worked for several years, Downtown welcomed 2,000 Coca-Cola Company employees, making the move from the suburbs to SunTrust Plaza Garden offices, now known as Coca-Cola Technology Plaza. Our orga- nization assisted with the move, which represents a growing trend of companies choosing to do business in the urban core. Another Atlanta icon, Polaris, reopened to great fanfare, following an extensive renovation that restored the legendary rotating restaurant atop the Hyatt Regency Atlanta to its former glory. The year also saw the groundbreaking for the new Atlanta Stadium, which will host both the Atlanta Falcons and a new Major League Soccer team beginning in 2017. The project will bring more than $2 billion of investment to Downtown and play a major role in attracting large-scale events like the Super Bowl to the district. Other notable real estate news included the redevelop- ment plans for Underground Atlanta. At Central Atlanta Progress and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, we are committed to continuing our work to move Downtown forward, championing a vibrant and economically robust city The DOWNTOWN DAFFODIL center at the heart of the metro Atlanta region.

INTRODUCING ATLANTA’S MOST INNOVATIVE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION On December 30, 2014, large crowds packed Woodruff Park as the much-anticipated Atlanta Streetcar officially opened to the public. For the first time in 65 years, streetcars began rolling through Downtown Atlanta, and media outlets, in- cluding the New York Times and Forbes magazine, were on hand to cover the historic event. In its first week of service, the streetcar carried 15,000 pas- sengers, and more than 62,000 riders stepped aboard during the first 30 days of operation. The year leading up to the celebration was a busy one for our organization. The first half of 2014 saw the completion of two years of construction and the delivery of the system’s four streetcars, as well as the recruitment of the operations and maintenance team. The conclusion of the system’s construction phase was followed by a testing phase and the deployment of a safety awareness and educational outreach campaign, which included the release of communications materials and a video that teaches viewers how to “Be Streetcar Smart.” In addition to addressing the city’s transportation needs, the Atlanta Streetcar is serving as a catalyst for economic development Downtown. More than $561 million has been invested in streetcar neigh- borhoods since 2011, and an additional $688 million in construction and revitalization projects is anticipated. CAP/ADID continued to leverage Streetcar investment through monthly Streetcar Socials intended to increase awareness of the project and support business along the route. A successful Pop Up Retail Program was launched to attract new retail outlets to the corridor. The ATLANTA STREETCAR, the city’s most progressive form of transportation, opened in 2014.

    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

    Explanation of Tax Estimates 1. "Tax": Estimated for the full year of 2016. The tax figure is based on the corporate tax formula. See below for details of calculating taxable income and estimated taxes. 2. "Tax/Assets": The assets total is from June 30, 2016. 3. "Tax/Gross Income": Gross income is the sum of accounts 110, 119, 120, 124, 131 and 659 on the call report, reported for Mid-Year 2016. 4. "Tax/Operating Expenses": Operating expense is account 671 on the call report. Formula for Tax Estimates Based on Mid-Year 2016 Call Report To estimate each credit union's taxes for the first half of 2016, we (1) computed taxable income for the year, (2) applied the tax formula to calculate an annual tax figure, (3) multiply this figure by .84 (allowing for tax management practices) to arrive at a more realistic amount. We computed taxable income from data in the NCUA/NASCUS mid-year call report. The numbers in parentheses below refer to "Account Codes" on the call report. 1. CALCULATION OF TAXABLE INCOME Taxable Income = Net Income After Cost of Funds (661a) - Net Chargeoffs (550 minus 551) + Provision for Loan Loss (300) II.
