ATLANTA 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.
In its virtual meeting Monday, the city council approved a new tax district to benefit the BeltLine, though it had not yet approved the 2 mill increase proposed for commercial properties within the district.
The new property tax would be designed to accelerate the Beltline’s construction by taxing nearby commercial property.
