The Town Center Area Community Improvement District

The Town Center Area Community Improvement District (TCACID) was established in 1997 as a self-taxing district to promote infrastructure improvements. In 2000, a resolution was passed at the annual meeting to expand the purposes of the TCACID to provide for additional services and facilities for parks and recreation areas and facilities, as well as land use planning, development and improvement consistent with Cobb County’s coordinated and comprehensive planning.

A seven-member board of directors governs the TCACID. The property owners vote six in and the Cobb County Board of Commissioners appoints the seventh director. The board elects its own officers annually.

The commercial properties in the TCACID pay an additional 5 mills on their property tax to advance road projects, sidewalks and other improvements to provide accessibility and mobility within the Town Center area. The TCACID has a six-year life span and is currently in its third term (2009-2015).

Revenue for the TCACID is based on the Cobb County Tax digest.

The TCACID completed a Master Plan, the Roadmap, in 2004 and updated the plan in 2006. The plan integrates transportation, land use, market conditions, and implementation guidelines for the Town Center Area.

Also completed in 2004, and is currently being updated, is a Livable Center Initiative (LCI) study, called Supurb. The LCI study is funded through the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) for local jurisdictions to develop transportation-efficient land use plans that promote development and redevelopment in regional activity centers.

Boundary Map The boundaries of the TCACID lie roughly to the north of Chastain Road, to the south of Barrett Parkway, east to Bells Ferry Road and west to Cobb Parkway. The TCACID meets the fourth Tuesday of each month, except December, at 7:30 AM at 245 TownPark Drive – Ravine I, Lower Level, Kennesaw, Georgia.
