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.
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.
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.
A Board of Directors is chosen from area property owners. Additional members are appointed by local government authorities.
Crews will soon begin upgrades that will forever change how drivers view the major intersections of Mountain Industrial Boulevard.
Beginning in May, installers will add new street signs illuminated by light-emitting diodes (LED) to the recently upgraded intersection mast arms. The signs will appear next to the existing traffic signals.
Shovels are turning dirt and crews are working to increase the curb appeal of commercial properties in the Stone Mountain Community Improvement District (CID).
The CID is working directly with owners of convenience stores and gas stations to install new landscaping and complete other repairs in highly visible public right-of-way areas. These property owners and the CID are jointly funding the improvement costs.
The Stone Mountain Community Improvement District (CID) is working to enhance the safety and appearance of Mountain Industrial Boulevard’s busiest interchange.
Beginning in February, design and planning efforts will start for the installation of streetlights at the Highway 78-Mountain Industrial Boulevard interchange. Currently, the bridge and ramp areas have no nighttime illumination.
Stone Mountain Village Georgia will host its 4 annual Blue Grassroots Music & Arts Festival on Saturday & Sunday, March 23 & 24 on Main Street in the Village.
The Stone Mountain Community Improvement District (CID) is aware that while businesses take a holiday break, criminal elements work even harder to find security lapses.
The CID is supplying extra measures to further deter crimes against commercial properties and their employees as 2012 draws to a close.
