Letter of Inducement for The Kroger Co. (“Kroger”): Mr. Bill Holby of King & Spalding LLP
and Ms. Yvonne Johnson of Kroger appeared in connection with the request for $34,000,000 in
taxable revenue bonds for the development of an approximately
82,000 square foot Kroger
grocery store, fuel center, and parking lot to be located at the Northside Drive and 17th Street
intersection in Atlanta’s Westside neighborhood. Ms. Johnson stated that the Kroger grocery
store will also feature a Starbucks, extended nutrition department, meals to go department, and
household goods department. Ms. Yvonne stated that
this proposed Kroger will be similar to the
recently opened Kroger Glenwood and Kroger Lindbergh. Mr. Nash informed the Authority that
this project site is a brownfield and was formerly owned by the Georgia Toll Road Authority.
Mr. Nash recommended approval of the
project. Upon a motion made by Mr. Hodge, which was seconded by Mr. Broadbent, the
Authority unanimously approved the letter of inducement for Kroger.
