The Dekalb County Commissioners voted against funding New Broad Street's proposal to redevelop the GM plant site in Doraville. This is a signature site that when developed could become a signature property in the County and a poster child for well executed in-fill mixed use development, generating significant tax revenue for the County. Unquestionably, New Broad Street has the ability to create a desirable development. However, the majority of the commissioners fail to see the long term benefit of the project and act in a nature showing more concern about their postions than for the long term benefit of the County.

This blog is devoted to residential and mixed use infill development with particular emphasis on the Atlanta, Georgia and South Florida markets. The focus is on current market activity, demographic trends and forecasts, principals of The New Urbanism, actual and proposed projects (both good and bad), as well as municipal regulations that both advance and hinder successful infill development.
