Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative Commission
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.
