Demorest work plan proposes annexation along Highway 365, a TAD ballot and creation of a Redevelopment Agency
Summary
The retreat work plan calls for drafting an annexation plan for two parcels on Highway 365, proposing a tax-allocation district (TAD) for the November ballot and forming a Redevelopment Agency to manage a redevelopment area map; the items are recommendations and no formal council action is recorded in the transcript.
The City of Demorest’s March 8 planning retreat included a development strategy that recommends annexing two parcels along Highway 365, seeking a Tax Allocation District (TAD) on the November ballot, and creating a Redevelopment Agency to manage redevelopment activities.
CES’s work plan assigns the City Manager and City Council to prepare an annexation plan, create application templates and protocols, and to develop a redevelopment-area map. The plan also recommends putting a TAD proposal before voters in November and staffing a Redevelopment Agency with appointed seats if the TAD and annexation proceed.
The retreat materials frame these items as recommended next steps and do not document formal council votes to proceed. The report suggests pairing annexation and redevelopment work with grant applications and a capital funding plan and returning to the council with mapped proposals and public-engagement steps before formal adoption.
