Aerotropolis Atlanta
Aerotropolis Atlanta is a planned mixed-use development in Hapeville, Georgia on the site of the former Ford Atlanta Assembly Plant. The site is directly adjacent to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The complex is to house offices, retail, and entertainment.
The plant was purchased for over $40 million by Jacoby Development, Inc., in June 2008.[1] Demolition of the plant began in August 2008 and was expected to take one year.
May 11, 2011 Porsche North America announced plans to spend $80-100 million to move their North American headquarters from Sandy Springs to Aerotropolis Atlanta, including a new office building and test track.[2][3] Porsche will receive about $15 million in economic incentives to do so including a $10 million tax break as Aerotropolis is in an "enterprise zone".[4]
