Atlanta's Downtown Business District provides a setting for small businesses much like a business park. Such a setting can be compared to the way an industrial park provides a setting for manufacturers. Space is readily available downtown. More job growth is projected to occur in small businesses in the next two decades than any other sector of the economy. Downtown is a major employer with 65 businesses creating over 215 jobs.
Downtown is the heart of Atlanta's heritage.
The architecture of downtown is a physical expression of Atlanta's history. Retention and preservation of downtown properties makes good economic sense and leaves a legacy for future generations. Improvements to property may be eligible for tax incentives, exemptions, refunds or abatements.
