Body
Item Summary:
The proposed 2013 Urban Redevelopment Plan is in addition to the Urban Redevelopment Plan that was adopted in 2010. The previous plan covered a large area of the City that was based on 2000 Biennial Census poverty block groups and other areas of the City affected by slum and blight conditions and economic disinvestment, including commercial and residential areas. The 2013 Urban Redevelopment Plan includes an area to the north of the earlier plan, and includes North Fulton Hospital and surrounding offices, the Alpharetta Highway corridor north of Sun Valley Road to the Roswell-Alpharetta border, and the industrial area along Hembree Rd east to the Roswell-Alpharetta border. The plan will be submitted with an application to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for a second Opportunity Zone.
