Residents can learn more about Milton’s land-use initiative

Residents with questions about Milton’s new transfer of development rights initiative can access a fact sheet compiled by the Community Development Department.

The program is a market-based initiative allowing limited additional density in designated places when developers pay landowners for voluntarily preserving their properties. A TDR ordinance is already in place in Crabapple. Another is proposed for the city’s main commercial corridor on Ga. 9 and Deerfield Parkway.
