Frequently Asked Questions
How are the activities of the Buckhead CID funded?
Non-residential property owners within the CID (the central Buckhead commercial district) pay an additional 3 mils of property taxes to fund the CID's operations. A total of approximately $33 million in taxes has been collected between 1999 and August 2010. These funds are used for planning, engineering, and designing transportation solutions and to leverage federal and state transportation dollars with CID dollars to implement those solutions. We also fund the buc shuttle and provide support to the Buckhead Area Transportation Management Association (BATMA). To date we have attracted an investment of approximately $80 million in funding from other sources, such as federal and state transportation dollars.
Who is responsible for the design of the Peachtree Boulevard transformation?
In addition to the Buckhead CID Board of Directors and our team of design/engineering consulting firms, input was sought and received from representatives of a broad cross-section of neighborhood groups, state and local governments and other business and transportation-focused organizations.
What opportunities exist for the public to review and comment on Buckhead CID activities?
All meetings of the Buckhead CID Board of Directors are open to the public. Dates, times and the location of these meetings can be found on the "Board of Directors" link on this Web site. The Buckhead CID will continue to make public presentations to presentations to property owners, business and civic organizations.
