WHAT IS A CID?

CIDs in Georgia are created by the state legislature and adopted by local governments. They are quasi-governmental and self-taxing for purposes of infrastructure and other improvements in a defined geographic area.

ONLY commercial property owners pay the additional tax millage, not residents.

@ THE CENTER OF SUCCESS: PERIMETER COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS

PCIDs work cross-jurisdictionally with

5 local governmental partners (Sandy

Springs, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, DeKalb

County & Fulton County,) as well as state

and federal elected officials and agencies to achieve successful

results.

PCIDs and their partners make a difference in the lives of Perimeter’s workers, residents and visitors through transportation improvements that encourage connectivity and access.

• $236.6 Million in tax revenues to the State of Georgia (2014)

• City of Dunwoody: 63.4% net fiscal impact on budget• City of Sandy Springs: 26.4% net fiscal impact on budget• City of Brookhaven: 7.1% net fiscal impact on budget

CID dollars can only be used for certain purposes as indicated by their individual State Legislation and local agreements.

• 4 year program funded by a $4 million GDOT grant.

• Partnership between PCIDs and the cities of Sandy Springs, Dunwoody and Brookhaven and the counties of DeKalb and Fulton.

• Includes the synchronization of 99 traffic signals within and adjacent to PCIDs to improve traffic congestion in the Perimeter business district.

• Together with the Ashford Dunwoody DDI and the Hammond Half-Diamond Interchange, PTOP helps to mitigate traffic and positively impact commute times.

• The new timing plans pay for themselves approximately every 55.2 workdays.

Traffic Officer Program• Off-duty DeKalb County, Dunwoody, Sandy

Springs and Fulton County officers direct traffic at up to thirteen (8 - Sandy Springs and 5 - Dunwoody) intersections in the Perimeter Business District during high-peak traffic times to help motorists travel safely and with ease.

• Traffic officers keep intersections clear and do not specifically direct traffic against the synchronized signal timing.

• The traffic officers work with our signal timing engineers and regularly communicate back and forth as they notice issues in the district.

• This project is a partnership between PCIDs/MARTA/City of Dunwoody

• Partnership with MARTA will create a state of the art mid-block crossing at Hammond and the Dunwoody MARTA station.

• This mid-block crossing will offer a safer alternative for the pedestrians who are riding MARTA or who are crossing from one shopping/retail/dining area to another across Hammond Drive.
