Overview

The Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative Commission (NRIC) was established by the Atlanta City Council to guide and provide oversight for the Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative—a plan to revitalize historically underserved neighborhoods across Atlanta. This initiative aims to make Atlanta the best city in the nation to raise a child by investing in housing, infrastructure, transit, and community amenities.

Purpose

The Commission’s primary role is to ensure fiscal responsibility, conduct due diligence, and recommend improvements to redevelopment efforts in economically distressed, underutilized, or strategically significant areas. It will review the expansion of Atlanta’s eight active Tax Allocation Districts (TADs)—a key funding mechanism for neighborhood reinvestment—and advise on strategies that promote equitable economic opportunity for all residents.

Membership

The NRIC is composed of 13 representatives from diverse sectors, including:

This collaborative structure ensures that voices from government, business, and community organizations shape the future of Atlanta’s neighborhoods.
