Do you trust city redevelopment plans to bring the businesses your neighborhood needs?

Invest Atlanta held a community meeting at Daniel McLaughlin Therrell High School on Tuesday to gather feedback on the Campbellton Tax Allocation District redevelopment plan. The effort covers neighborhoods stretching from Greenbriar Mall to Fort McPherson.

Why it matters

The redevelopment plan will be shaped by direct resident input on the types of projects the community wants, including housing, retail, parks and infrastructure. Residents who cannot attend can take part through Invest Atlanta's website.

The Campbellton redevelopment effort began in 2006 and a comprehensive development plan followed in 2012, according to the planning timeline. Specific project funding amounts and the final timeline for the updated plan were not provided.

The players

Invest Atlanta

Invest Atlanta is the economic development authority for the City of Atlanta, responsible for administering tax allocation districts and redevelopment projects across the city.

The details

Invest Atlanta is collecting resident feedback on housing, retail, business development, parks, sidewalks and infrastructure for the plan. Tax revenue above the base amount is placed into a redevelopment fund used for specific projects within the designated area.

Timeline

  1. 2006: Campbellton TAD redevelopment effort begins.

  2. 2012: Comprehensive development plan for Campbellton Road is prepared.

  3. Tuesday, November 10, 2026: Invest Atlanta community meeting held at Therrell High School.

Financial Planning Context

The Campbellton effort follows the structure of Georgia's tax allocation district statute, which channels property tax growth above a base amount into local redevelopment. Public input now helps determine how that incremental revenue is directed within the district.

Residents along Campbellton Road can submit feedback on housing, retail and infrastructure that may influence how redevelopment funds are spent. Those unable to attend the meeting can participate online through Invest Atlanta's website.

The takeaway

Public feedback can directly shape how tax increment revenue is invested in a local community. Residents who want a say in neighborhood projects should engage early in planning processes.
