Tax Allocation District

Tax Allocation Districts (TAD) are used nationwide as an economic development incentive to attract quality development to an underutilized or distressed redevelopment area. Georgia’s Redevelopment Powers Law gives local governments the authority to sell bonds to finance infrastructure and other redevelopment costs within a specifically defined area.

There are two approved TADs within Gateway85 (one centered around the Jimmy Carter Boulevard & I-85 interchange and the other at the Indian Trail Road & I-85 interchange).
