    East Atlanta Business Association has been chosen for a 1 year Atlanta Main Street Fellowship program focusing on Economic Vitality, Promotion, Organization and Design. 

    National Program to guide economic development - we’re one of three selected (Sweet Auburn and Westview are the other two). Out of the planning and zoning office of the City of Atlanta. Between this and the City of Atlanta Placemaking grant, it’s over $20,000 for East Atlanta.

    • East Atlanta Historic District Designation Presentation:Stephanie L. Cherry-Farmer,  East Atlanta property owner and historic preservationist.

        • Generally 50 years or older

        • Generally have retained historic integrity

        • One of 4 criteria (in presentation)

      • Stephanie can connect you with one of the tax credit specialists if there are further questions.

      • See for linked presentation for commercial opportunities and benefits of restoration

      • Correction to ‘Funding Sources’ slide - *20% of approved restoration costs*
