The Invest Atlanta board has approved $1.26 million in Westside Tax Allocation District (TAD) tax increment funding for energy-efficient upgrades at The Walton Building, which is being redeveloped into a 110-room hotel. The nine-story, circa-1910 building, currently operating as a residential hotel and located in the Fairlie-Poplar Historic District, will participate in the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, launched in 2011 as part of a national initiative by President Barack Obama to make the nation’s commercial buildings 20 percent more energy efficient by 2020. The TAD funds will pay for part of a $3.1 million energy-efficiency project that includes window replacement and insulation, high-efficiency heating and air conditioning, lighting with occupancy sensors and laundry water recycling.
Dedicated to enhancing civic engagement and encouraging a positive community impact for southwest Atlanta.
The Atlanta Planning Advisory Board, APAB, has forwarded a request to the Mayor’s Office regarding APAB’s authorization [by City Ordinance and State Code] to have a representative on the Invest Atlanta Board.
