Simon is also working on an extensive revamp of Phipps Plaza.
During the first of three hearings, Fulton County residents called on county commissioners to reject a proposed property tax increase of more than 17 percent. According to a report from WABE, raising the millage rate to 1.57 mills would mean a $140 increase for those with a $275,000 home. Commission Chairman John Eaves says the county needs to plug a $48 million budget shortfall.
