Portions of Campbellton Road, MLK Jr. Drive designated ‘opportunity zones’

Invest Atlanta has announced that areas of land along Campbellton Road near Greenbriar Mall and along Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive have been designated as Opportunity Zones by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA).

Georgia’s Opportunity Zone program helps encourage business growth, job creation, and economic revitalization by providing a tax credit to businesses that create jobs within the designated area.

“Bringing new investment and jobs to Campbellton Road, Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and other key corridors is a vital part of Atlanta’s economic development strategy,” Mayor Andre Dickens said in a press release. “These new Opportunity Zone designations will encourage small business investment that leads to increased prosperity for residents in these communities.”
