DEL.ICIO.USAlpharetta tax district is approved
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Alpharetta residents strongly supported a tax district to fund a downtown redevelopment project.
The special tax district would pay for public improvements on 7 acres of prime downtown real estate, most of which is underused. The city owns 3 of the acres — part of it tied up in parking, the rest the aging Eagle Village gym and Police Athletic League complex.
The proposal, approved in concept by the city but still in the development stage, calls for about 50,000 square feet each of retail and office space, new space for city government offices, 162 condominiums and nearly 900 parking spaces.
