Whitfield County approves Hammond Creek TAD agreement in 3-2 vote
Summary
The Board approved an intergovernmental agreement for Tax Allocation District #4 (Hammond Creek) tied to a Dalton redevelopment plan for a new apartment complex; the motion passed 3-2 with Commissioners Thomas and Jones dissenting.
Whitfield County commissioners on April 11 narrowly approved an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Dalton and the Dalton Board of Education to establish Tax Allocation District (TAD) #4 — Hammond Creek — connected to a redevelopment plan for a new apartment complex.
Commissioner Barry W. Robbins moved and Commissioner Robby Staten seconded the intergovernmental agreement. The motion passed 3-2: Chairman Jevin Jensen, Commissioner Robbins and Commissioner Staten voted in favor; Commissioners John Thomas and Greg Jones dissented. The minutes note Dalton City Council and the Dalton Board of Education had already unanimously approved the redevelopment plan.
The action registers the county’s participation in the TAD agreement and supports the Hammond Creek redevelopment plan approved by the city and school board. The minutes do not record detailed floor debate or the reasons for the two dissenting votes. The agreement and redevelopment plan will proceed under the joint intergovernmental framework established by the three bodies.
