  • Atlantic Station Redevelopment Plan
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Atlanta proposes the creation of the Atlantic Steel Brownfield Redevelopment Plan and Tax Allocation District (ASBTAD) for the following reasons: 1. Make possible the redevelopment of over 138 acres of under-utilized real estate which, has been contaminated due to almost a century of heavy industrial use. 2. Make maximum use of alternative transportation modes to minimize congestion and improve air quality. 3. Lay framework for a more pedestrian friendly City into the next century. 4. Provide mixed-income housing for wide range on income levels. 5. Create large number of jobs with wide range of skill levels. 6. Create a 24-hour environment where one can live, work, and play. 7. Encourage additional development on the perimeter of the redevelopment area. 8. Provide the basis for enhanced property and sales tax revenues for the City, County, School System, and State. 9. Create a financing tool for transportation and other infrastructure to improve and connect major activity centers to each other and the existing MARTA heavy rail network. Overview of Tax Allocation Districts: Tax Allocation Districts (TAD) are authorized in Georgia under the Redevelopment Powers Act, Chapter 44, Title 36. A Tax Allocation District, typically referred to as Tax Increment Financing, is a tool used to publicly finance redevelopment activities in underdeveloped or blighted areas. A tax allocation district derives its funding from the increase in the redevelopment area’s ad valorem and/or sales taxes levied by the city, county, and school system. These revenues are placed in a special redevelopment fund for the area and are used to directly pay for the redevelopment costs or to issue bonds to pay for redevelopment costs.
