Five reasons to approve the local historic district designation

  1. Protects the uniqueness of Norcross character and charm from distortions.
  2. Encourages new development projects to maintain architectural integrity of Norcross.
  3. Opens opportunity to gain Certified Local Government (CLG) designation; CLG can provide matching grants, and property tax freezes for rehab projects.
  4. Helps the city defend against unwanted development forced upon it from County, State and Federal agencies (for example: FCC/cell towers, DOT/new roads, USPS/post offices, etc.)
  5. Affects a positive influence on home values within the district. See recent studies:
