Revenue bonds for the Downtown Development Authority

The city council will consider a resolution to approve the sale of revenue bonds for the redevelopment of what the resolution describes as “pockets of blight” in the downtown area.

The resolution, if passed, will also adopt an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Powder Springs Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to implement the redevelopment.

This bond proposal is a result of a resolution adopted at the October 2 city council meeting designating an “urban redevelopment area.”

After the urban redevelopment area was defined, the city held a public hearing on November 2 where they presented an Urban Redevelopment Plan.

The plan was adopted by the city council after the hearing.
