Today, The Atlanta City Council will vote on the Beltline Tax Allocation District.  In order for the Beltline to get the private funding it needs, this is a crucial vote, but many people may not know that two other governmental bodies must also sign off on the TAD as well. 
The Fulton County Commission and the Atlanta School Board must also pass the TAD because they issue property taxes.  If the TAD passes, it’s expected to raise $1.7 for the Beltline, but that’s roughly half a billion dollars that each government entity would give up.  That’s not easy and the elected representatives will need some persuasion. 
You can do something about this!  Please contact your representatives on each of these bodies!!!  Don’t know who represents you?  Go to vote-smart and find out!
