ATLANTA (AP) A proposed apartment building in downtown Atlanta could feature 31 stories of teachers.
Developers of the proposed $176 million project called “Teachers Village” say they plan to market 229 of the 438 apartments to Atlanta school system employees.
Invest Atlanta, the city development agency, on Thursday approved giving the project a $26.4 million tax-exempt loan and a $4 million grant. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the grant funding now goes to the Fulton County Board of Commissioners for further review.
City school system supporters say the project proposed by RPH Group will encourage more teachers to live within the city.
