FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the new urban redevelopment project for the urban redevelopment area is expected to be paid for with the unspent proceeds of the Urban Redevelopment Agency of DeKalb County, Georgia Revenue Bonds (DeKalb County, Georgia Project) Series 2010 (Federally Taxable Recovery Zone Economic Development Bond).
