"The Beltline is the biggest urban redevelopment proposal in Atlanta in decades.Not even the construction projects in advance of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games promised the transformative effects, or carried the price tag, of the Beltline.A projected $20 billion in new homes, shops and offices are expected to flank the Beltline's network of green space and transit. The Beltline itself has an estimated cost of up to $3 billion, funds that city leaders intend to raise through the proceeds of the special Beltline tax district."
