Would a Tennis Complex Give Dunwoody Cachet?

Dunwoody Mayor Mike Davis has a strategy to make Dunwody a magnet for the sport of tennis.

First, raise the Dunwoody hotel tax to 8 percent and then use the extra funds to build a sports complex at the former GoldKist building on Perimeter Center West, according to Real Estate Bisnow.

Davis told the publication of his vision for 20 tennis courts and top-seeded players on the 15-acre site. With MARTA and Perimter hotels and restaurants nearby, he thinks it's idea.

Potential investors have toured the site for a possible multi-family housing unit, the Bisnow story said.
