Improvements to the I-285/Ga. 400 interchange have been called “the No. 1 priority for Perimeter CIDs.” A sales tax, which would have raised $450 million for the interchange, was soundly defeated by metro Atlanta voters in 2012. Now Perimeter business owners have agreed to bring $10.5 million to the table to jump start the improvement plans.
