A preliminary plan for improving the appearance of Walnut Avenue calls for "streetscaping" it with more trees and vegetation.
Members of the Dalton City Council have approved plans to offer tax incentives for developers to build or renovate property on West Walnut Avenue between Market Street and Dug Gap Road and on the north Dalton bypass near Heritage Point Park.
The council voted 4-0 Monday to create two new tax allocation districts (TADs). The city previously had two TADs, one covering the downtown business district and the other on East Walnut Avenue covering the Dalton Mall and the property near it.
