East Downtown TAD Athens Land Trust Redevelopment Proposal

At a glance

• What: an Athens Land Trust redevelopment funding proposal of up to $100,000, raised at a prior committee meeting and approved in an ambiguously worded motion.
• Where it stands: members and staff agreed the motion only invited the Land Trust to return with a detailed proposal and community input; it did not recommend releasing TAD funds. The Mayor and Commission make any final funding decision.
• Next: a special committee meeting to set a process for receiving proposals, ahead of the regular November meeting.

• Without a quorum, members discussed the confusion over the motion, the land trust model, possible collaborations, and the rule that applications go through staff first.
