What is a CID?

A Community Improvement District (CID) is a geographically defined area where commercial and industrial properties increase their own tax rate to fund improvements. CIDs partner with local governments, business professionals and surrounding residents.

How is a CID formed?

Written consent is obtained from a majority of owners representing at least 75 percent of the district's property value. The local government authorizes the CID's creation.

What does a CID do?

CIDs identify issues that need to be addressed and lead in providing solutions. They focus on community appearance, public safety, infrastructure upgrades, economic development and transportation improvements.

Who runs the CID?

A Board of Directors is chosen from area property owners. Additional members are appointed by local government authorities.

About Us

cement-truck-curbingThe Stone Mountain Community Improvement District (CID) is rising to meet the challenges of our current economic climate. With the support of business and political leaders, the CID is rapidly deploying initiatives to dramatically increase the area's commercial appeal.

The goal of the CID is to return this vitally important office and industrial park to its place as the southeast's premier location for commercial success. We are already making a real difference.

Fixing broken infrastructure
The CID partners with DeKalb County, Georgia Power, the Georgia Department of Transportation and others to remove blight and identify and repair all infrastructure needs, including those along side roads and properties.

Increasing public safety and perception
The CID funds public safety professionals and off-duty county police officers to provide daily uniformed patrols of stakeholder properties. Landscaping crews routinely maintain the area's appearance.

Focusing on economic development
The CID is using a large grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission to create long-range economic development strategies for the area. The ultimate goal – seeing every available commercial property reach its highest and best use.
