DeKalb County officials met with GM representatives this week to discuss plans for the Doraville site, but there are no formal proposals on the table, officials told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday.

County CEO Burrell Ellis, several county commissioners, legislators and Doraville officials met with GM as part of an “ongoing discussion” of what to do with the 165-acre property, county spokesman Burke Brennan said.

In August, the commission voted against a $54 million project to use public money to turn the vacant plant into an Atlantic Station-like development.

Brennan said several developers have expressed interest in the site, but there are no current proposals.
