GPNA Meeting Agenda - Tuesday, April 20, 2021

Next month's meeting agenda will be out the week prior

An SSD (Special Service District) is a tax district where commercial and multi-family property owners in the Atlanta BeltLine Planning Area pay slightly more in property taxes to fund the Atlanta BeltLine trail completion. Single family homeowners are not part of the district.
As this affects more than half of Grant Park, we urge you to learn and understand more.

Atlanta BeltLine tax district gains approval, will take effect this fall

A new Atlanta BeltLine tax district that planners say will enable the loop’s trail portion to be completed by 2030 won City Council approval March 15. The 2-mill tax increase for commercial properties and apartment complexes roughly within a half-mile of the BeltLine will take effect this fall.

New BeltLine tax gets first OK

The Atlanta City Council is considering a new tax that its backers said would juice construction of the Atlanta BeltLine. However, critics claim the timing is terrible because the economy has slowed to a trickle during the pandemic.

About the Grant Park Neighborhood Association (GPNA)

In the first days of the revitalization of the Grant Park neighborhood, when only a handful of people envisioned the potential of this urban neighborhood, the Association to Revive Grant Park (ARGP) was formed. ARGP, begun in 1973, was the largest of three civic organizations in the neighborhood. The association’s purpose was to help preserve and promote Grant Park as a viable community. In 1975, ARGP was incorporated as a non-profit organization. In the late 1980's the name was changed to the Grant Park Neighborhood Association (GPNA).
