On Tuesday, November 25, at 11 AM, the Community Development/Human Services (CDHS) Committee will hold a meeting where community members will have the opportunity to come publicly oppose the TAD extensions taking money from our schools and public services! The extension will be voted on by the Committee on Dec. 1.

TADs have been pitched as a way to invest in the people and infrastructure that the TAD encompasses. In practice, they act as unaccountable slush funds, completely cut off from community control. While this plan to extend the TADs comes with bold promises to invest in affordable housing, transit, and healthcare, some TADS (such as the Beltline TAD and Atlantic Station) have a track record of doing the exact opposite — gentrifying neighborhoods, pushing out longtime residents, and prioritizing unaffordable, luxury commercial development. Without a real plan or guardrails, the community has NO reason to believe new TAD revenue will go towards creating equity or affordability in our city. 

• Event Date: Tues, Nov. 25
• Event Time: 11AM–2PM
• Event Location: Atlanta City Hall (55 Trinity Ave SW)

Email and call your City Council Members TODAY before the Nov. 25 CDHS Committee meeting and the last Council Meeting of the year on Dec. 1! Tell Council to vote NO on extending the TADs without a more robust plan and community participation.

Come tell City Council to vote against the TADs and stop taking tax dollars away from our schools and public services!

Sign up to speak out against the TAD extension during public comment at the full Council meeting on Tuesday, December 1 at 1PM.
