The Sandy Springs Development Authority adopted a bond resolution on Aug. 26 enacting the 10-year, $2.54 million property tax abatement City Council approved Aug. 18 for Woodfield Development's North River Apartments redevelopment.
Why it matters
The vote clears the last hurdle for a $150M-plus overhaul: 336 apartments, 85 townhomes, retail and a new public park replacing an aging strip mall.
What to watch
Construction is expected to begin later this year once Woodfield closes on the roughly 8 of 13 acres it has under contract at 8830 Roswell Road.
