About The Metropolitan Parkway TAD
This TAD was created to address the disinvestment that has occurred over the past three decades by funding new infill commercial and mixed-use development, roadway, and transportation-oriented improvements, as well as infrastructure and amenities that create pedestrian-friendly environments.
Metropolitan Parkway TAD Development Objectives
The Metropolitan Parkway Redevelopment Plan and Tax Allocation Bond District (TAD) was created for the following purposes:
- To attract private, taxable redevelopment opportunities to the Metropolitan Parkway sector of the City of Atlanta.
- To further the City’s goals of improving underdeveloped urban areas as well as of attracting desirable development, including professional jobs.
- To provide funding that, in turn, will attract additional regional, State and Federal funding to allow improvements to land use, transportation, and recreational areas.
- To realize the full economic potential of an increasingly urbanized community.
- To increase employment opportunities for residents of the TAD area.
- To increase opportunities for market-driven residential and commercial development within the Metropolitan Parkway area.
- To overcome constraints to development generated by aged and obsolete commercial and residential structures, inefficient transportation infrastructure and inadequate physical connections to the surrounding community.
- To maximize the tax revenue potential of the TAD area while achieving the basic goals of the Metropolitan Parkway Redevelopment Plan.
