This ordinance finalizes the transfer of six parcels located on Redwine Road and the south side of Harvard Avenue in College Park, Georgia. The City of Atlanta initially purchased these parcels for noise compatibility purposes related to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport but later determined that they were no longer needed. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that such land be sold when it is no longer needed for noise compatibility. This transfer rectifies discrepancies in previous legal descriptions and conveys the parcels to the College Park Business and Industrial Development Authority (BIDA), as authorized by Ordinance 12-O-0055. The conveyance is part of the larger College Park Redevelopment Plan, incorporating the land into ongoing development efforts near the FAA Federal Complex.
This decision clears legal discrepancies and supports the redevelopment of College Park, aligning with noise mitigation requirements around Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The transfer allows College Park to proceed with its redevelopment plans, which are crucial for regional economic growth.
