A resolution adopting Amendment #1 to the Tatemville Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan for the purpose of increasing and supporting housing investments, incentives, and policies that 1) benefit low- and moderate-income persons including renters, homeowners, and homebuyers; 2) encourage resident diversity, and; 3) extend the date of the Tatemville Neighborhood Revitalization Plan through December 31, 2031 so it coincides with the date of the 10-year Housing Savannah Action Plan.

Adoption of this Resolution should result in the award of five (5) points in support of a highly competitive application for Statewide housing tax credits. Without these and other points that the City can assist with, the application becomes less competitive and may not be awarded.

Revitalization of the Fairgounds property has been an ongoing community discussion since the purchase of the property in 2016. More recently, the City participated in seven community meetings, two public workshops, and three neighborhood site tours of the property over the last 10 months with over 500 attendees. Those meeting are listed as follows:
