Commissioner Nancy Jester
“It’s Your Money”
DUNWOODY Town Hall
This Tuesday – 9 February, 2016
7.00pm – 8.30pm All Saints Catholic Church (Social Hall)
2443 Mt Vernon Road, Dunwoody
Commissioner Nancy Jester is hosting a countywide Town Hall for DeKalb County taxpayers to discuss the 2016 DeKalb County Budget and the expected $21 million windfall from the refinancing of bonds at low interest rates.
DeKalb County taxpayers will have the opportunity to share their observations on the Budget and offer recommendations and suggestions on how best to utilize the anticipated $21 million in bond money.
“We’re on the Verge of Blowing It”
Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Chris Carr speaking to DeKalb County leaders about the importance of coming together to support the development at the old GM plant in Doraville.
Please take the time to click on the link below and read this AJC article, and analysis by Todd Rehm of GA Pundit, about the former GM site. This particular property (165 acres) is larger than the Atlantic Station development. It requires substantial infrastructure work, including connecting the site to the Doraville MARTA station.
The county and city of Doraville have already agreed to participate in the tax allocation district (TAD) but the DeKalb School District has not even come to the table to discuss the proposal.
If the school district administration continues to refuse to even discuss this matter, either the Doraville or the DeKalb Development Authority will likely structure a long-term deal that has the net effect of abating every penny of taxes paid on that property. With a TAD every dime gets paid.
The Lee May Announcement
Join Stan and I in wishing Lee May and his family every success as they transition into service in ministry. During my service on the Board of Commissioners, iCEO May and I have agreed and disagreed on numerous issues, however, I have always appreciated his commitment to DeKalb County. iCEO May inherited a government in crisis and scandal. He worked diligently to address numerous challenges.
There is much work to be done on behalf of DeKalb County taxpayers in 2016, and I look forward to working with Lee May on these important issues facing the county we both love.
