Creating the Southeast's Premier Walkable Urban Center
The Perimeter Community Improvement Districts (PCIDs), representing both the DeKalb and Fulton Perimeter CIDs, are self-taxing districts that use additional property taxes to help accelerate transportation and infrastructure improvement projects. The PCIDs are leading the charge to implement vital transportation enhancements coupled with land use and zoning strategies that will enhance mobility and improve access to the Perimeter activity center.
The PCIDs have achieved unparalleled success in leveraging local, state and federal dollars for transportation projects aimed at relieving traffic congestion, improving choices and access and encouraging connectivity. The DeKalb and Fulton PCIDs have each maintained their competitive edge in leveraging these funds since their inception in 1999 and 2001, respectively. The PCIDs have contributed $14.2 million in additional property taxes for transportation and infrastructure projects completed or underway in Perimeter and leveraged $86.3 million more – a 6 to 1 return on investment.
