Economic DevelopmentRedevelopment Powers LawThe Mission of theDalton - Whitfield County JointDevelopment Authority is tofacilitate the long-term, positiveeconomic growth of the community by attracting/retaining jobs,diverse investments and growingthe tax base.The Development Authority represents a public-private partnershipfunded by Whitfield County,City of Dalton and GrowGreater Dalton.BOARD OF DIRECTORSChair: Andy Walker - AllianceNational BankVice Chair: Bill Davies – BB&TSecretary-Treasurer:Kevin Harris – Arrowstar, L.L.C.Dan Combs - State FarmInsurance-Dan CombsBob Kinard - Kinard Realty, Inc.Frank Robertson – Robertsonand CompanyElyse Cochran, CCEChamber-Senior Vice President ofEconomic DevelopmentAlex StallEconomic DevelopmentSenior Project ManagerBarbara WardDirector of WorkforceDevelopmentAndrew CarnesEconomic DevelopmentProject Manager10Chamber LinkVoters in Dalton, Tunnel Hill, Varnell and Whitfield County will see a question aboutRedevelopment Powers on the November 8, 2011 ballot. Earlier this year, theGeorgia General Assembly passed individual bills to allow the RedevelopmentPowers Law to appear on the ballot as a referendum for citizens in the City of Dalton,City of Tunnel Hill, City of Varnell and Whitfield County.Georgia’s Redevelopment Powers Law, adopted by the General Assembly in 1985,gave local governments the authority to sell bonds to finance infrastructure and otherredevelopment costs within a specifically defined area. Since that time, there havebeen at least 27 redevelopment districts in the state, with no failures to date.The ballot will ask: "Shall the Act be approved which authorizes (WhitfieldCounty, Dalton, Varnell or Tunnel Hill) to exercise redevelopment powers under the'Redevelopment Powers Law', as it may be amended from time to time?"While the Redevelopment Powers are new to Greater Dalton, other communities inNorth Georgia, such as Rome and Gainesville, have been using them since the mid2000s. The Redevelopment Powers addresses areas with blighted, old, unused properties with declining value, unemployment and rising poverty with sewer in place.These areas, known as a Tax Allocation District (TAD), are then redeveloped, increasing the value of the properties in the TAD and making the area more desirable forretail, recreation, housing and other uses.The Redevelopment Powers Law provides a way to finance these projects andenhances the cities’ and county’s chances to get new up-scale retail. Bonds are firstissued to a developer to make the improvements to the district and the bond debt ispaid by “new” revenues from within the TAD. When bond debt is repaid in full, theentire “new” tax revenue goes to the applicable jurisdiction. With redevelopment,new jobs can be created and sales tax dollars are kept within Greater Dalton.Once the district is identified and approved, a redevelopment agency designated bythe city or county will monitor and provide ongoing compliance over the TAD.For example, the current ad valorem tax value paid to the general fund by PropertyXYZ is 100 as of December 31, 2011. The referendum passes in November 2011and the TAD is enacted on January 1, 2012. Because Property XYZ is within the TaxAllocation District and improvements were made increasing theproperty value, the ad valoremtax value is now 125 onDecember 31, 2012. The original 100 will still go to the general fund and the “new” 25 willgo to paying off the bonds usedfor improving the property.For more information about theRedevelopment Powers Law,please .orgOctober 2011

Go Green2012 Chamber“Green” SponsorSERVPRO“When people get caught up with that which is rightand they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is nostopping point short of victory.” - Dr. Martin LutherKing, Jr.Odd quote for a ‘GREEN’ article? Let me explain.Too many times we have witnessed large corporations collapse and crumble due to unethical anddestructive business practices. A business cannotexist or be successful without structure and organization or, more importantly, customers. Those corporations made the ultimate sacrifice by choosing to follow their wallets rather than focusing on the serviceprovided to their clients. They were focused on thewrong ‘GREEN’ so to speak.The SERVPRO way of doing business is just the opposite. RESTORE VS. REPLACEAs a family that has experienced a major disaster;Water Damage, Fire Damage, or what we know toowell here recently, Storm Damage, you do not wantto be worried with what you have to go buy to putyour life back together. We all know that you can’tREPLACE memories, or your grandchildren’s artworkfrom Pre-School. However, it’s possible to RESTOREthem back to a working fashion, so that your memories will get to stay in place instead of disappearingwith the smoke or wind.SERVPRO always wants to use whatever means possible to restore and replace only when it is absolutelynecessary. The bottom line is what is at stake. Notonly for the homeowner, or business owner but alsofor the insurance companies involved.Our tag line says it all ‘Like it Never EvenHappened’. Working to Restore your items isSERVPRO’s version of Recycling. Memories are arenewable resource and we want to keep them thatway.Our version of going GREEN doesn’t just run in ourcolors, in runs in our blood.-Servpro of N. Whitfield, Catoosa & E. WalkerCounties.Is your company Green?
