Town Center Area Community Improvement District

The Town Center Community Improvement District was founded upon the basis of Article 9, Section VII of the Georgia Constitution. One of the oldest CIDs, the TCACID was established in 1997. It is now in its fourth six-year term (2016-2021). The Town Center CID supports local-area improvements through public-private partnerships. In 2000, its scope was expanded from primarily a focus on transportation, to one also providing for park and recreation areas and facilities, plus land-use planning, development and improvement The Town Center CID continues to provide significant funding for major improvements to the area, through projects that often qualify for other sources of funding once initiated locally. To date, the Town Center CID has been able to leverage some $56 million in funding to advance as much as $163 million in transportation and quality of life projects by working closely with local, state and federal organizations. ==Town Center CID Projects==
