?Belmont Hills Redevelopment?
2007-02-28 16:32:03 As many of you already know, Jack Halpern has been seeking redevelopment approval and more importantly Tax Allocation District (TAD) approval for the Belmont Hills shopping center located at the corner of Atlanta Road and Windy Hill Road. The existing shopping center has not seen capital improvements in years, has a low occupancy rate, and has only a few short-term tenants. Last year, the center?s anchor tenant, Sears Appliance Outlet, closed their doors in anticipation of the upcoming redevelopment. Last year the redevelopment plan met significant opposition when the proposal called for a mixed-use development with a focus on a large retail center anchored by big box tenant Super WalMart. Needless to say, Smyrna residents were not too enthusiastic about the plans and opposition stopped the plans from getting the TAD approval. Last night at the bi-monthly Smyrna City Council meeting, Jack Halpern presented the latest redevelopment plan for Belmont Hills and once again asked for T... |
