Georgia Brownfield Tax Incentive

Georgia provides tax incentives for Brownfield redevelopment. The Brownfield tax law allows property owners to apply for “preferential assessment” of the Brownfield property. The preferential assessment reduces property taxes for ten years, or until the certified assessment and cleanup costs are recouped, whichever occurs first.

Along with the prospect of a new case of the brews, the Asheville site proposed for New Belgium Brewing Co.’s new East Coast facility would get cleaned up: Part of the Craven Street property qualifies for North Carolina’s brownfields program, a federal and state initiative that streamlines the redevelopment of property that may be contaminated.

The 17.5-acre site once hosted the WNC Stockyards, a hay warehouse, a filling station, and an automobile repair-and-painting shop. It’s property that, among others in our region, has been awaiting “a savvy developer to revitalize it,” says Kate O’Hara, project manager at the Regional Brownfields Initiative, located at the Land of Sky Regional Council.

The number of people who call downtown Durham home has risen from just 200 in the mid-1990s to more than 1,500 today. Many live in retrofitted lofts that take advantage of the quirky industrial architecture of several old tobacco warehouses.
