Most Fulton County Homeowners to See Lower Property Taxes in 2011
Board votes not to raise millage rate.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners has voted to keep the General Fund millage rate at 10.281 mills, according to a county news release. The board vote last Thursday means most homeowners will see lower property taxes for the Fulton County portions of their property taxes in 2011, due to lower assessments and a $5,000 increase in Homestead Exemption for qualifying Fulton County residential property owners. The Board has maintained the 10.281 millage rate since 2007, which is 24% lower than the millage rate in 2000, according to the statement from Jessica A. Corbitt-Dominguez, a spokeswoman for the county. Fulton has the second-lowest General Fund rate among metro Atlanta counties, and is the only metro County that has not increased …

Despite Notices, Media No One Attends Special Fulton Commission Public Hearing Wednesday; Service Fee Increases Approved by Board
New fees likely to take effect Feb. 1; No opposition during public hearing Wednesday with Fulton County commissioners
Residents and merchants of south Fulton County can brace themselves to pay more for certain county services starting Feb. 1. Fulton County commissioners held a public hearing Wednesday to hear comments about the proposal to raise certain fees and implement 18 new fees. No one said a word. No one even attended the meeting. Not at the main Fulton County commission room, nor at the county's satellite center in College Park. Commissioner Robb Pitts evidently was stunned by the silence. Pitts stopped the proceedings and asked if the public had been notified of the meeting. Yes, the public had been notified, responded Rob Hernandez, Fulton's deputy county manager for south Fulton. Hernandez said the hearing was announced in the Atlanta Business …

Mr. Eaves you continue to disappoint! Even if we came to one hearing it does not net success for residents. You all need to fight for even countywide systems. more ›

County to Take Final Vote Wednesday on Development at Cascade/I-285
Fulton County commissioners are set to ratify a plan to build a town center in the 3000 block of Cascade Road
Fulton County commissioners are set to ratify a town center with homes and a commercial core at the southwest corner of Cascade Road and I-285. The site has been mired in controversy for about 20 years as the developer clashed with the commission over what type of project could be built. Even now, it's not clear when – or if – a development will come out of the ground. Michael Hightower, a former county commissioner who represents the developer, declined to comment on construction plans. Hightower now is managing partner of The Collaborative Firm, a land use planning and development firm. Hightower's reticence may be a result of restrictions on the proposed project that were imposed by the county commission. The developer could file an …

I grew up in the Cascade area and have watched it came a very long way. What I would like to see is more town center type of development. Something simliar to Atlantic Station or the Shopping center on Edgewood on the 59 acres. Then give our community With Resturants like Atlanta Bread Company and Maggio's Along with clothing Boutiques. Then do the same across from the Home depot along with a … more ›
