The Clarke County Board of Education will hold a called meeting Monday, February 20 at 6 pm regarding the Georgia Square Mall redevelopment.
Board members are expected to vote on an amendment to the intergovernmental agreement between the Clarke County School District and the Athens-Clarke County government related to the Mall area TAD project.
The amendment calls for the Mayor and Commission to approve a Community Benefits Agreement. Among the items that CBA includes are:
- A change in date
- A request for space for a daycare
- Making district employees a priority for affordable housing units, if possible
- Internships for CCSD students.
The board also requests the developer make good faith efforts to provide opportunities for minority and female businesses.
