By designating the 35-acre development as an “urban redevelopment area” the city can proceed with naming a private partner to help redevelop the property.

The project for redevelopment would include 19 acres of property at 4552, 4555 and 4575 N. Shallowford Road, which the city has an option to purchase.

The plan also includes a 16-acre property purchased by the city for $5.6 million, known as the PVC farm.
