Taste of PiHi
Atlanta, GA – The Second Annual Taste of PiHi, presented by Piedmont Heights Business Alliance and Piedmont Heights Civic Association, is a fundraising event highlighting the city’s oldest neighborhood’s best of food/beverage/and business hosted at Indie Studios (190 Ottley Drive NE, Atlanta GA 30324) on Sunday, November 10th. In support of a recent $60K Commercial District grant from the Atlanta BeltLine, The Taste of PiHi aims to continue raising money to explore the feasibility of a Community Improvement District (CID) for the Monroe/Piedmont/Armour/Cheshire Bridge commercial corridors.
Piedmont Heights Alliance president, Sachiyo Nakato Takahara says “As a third generation business owner on Cheshire Bridge and nearby resident, we are excited about the progress of property owners and residents coming together to re-invest into the community we work and live in.”
Community Improvement Districts (CIDs) are geographically defined districts where commercial property owners have agreed to provide additional services within the district funded by a self-imposed additional property tax (and, in some cases voluntary contributions from partners). The best known local examples are Central Atlanta Progress/Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, the Midtown Alliance, and the Buckhead CID. CIDs are funded by owners (not tenants) of all properties in a CID boundary that are not residential (including apartments). Georgia has 28 CIDs, half of which have been created since 2010.
The Taste of PiHi will feature over 30 stations including many legacy businesses along Cheshire Bridge including Nakato Japanese Restaurant, Nino’s Italian Restaurant, The Colonnade and Johnny’s Pizza. Sips from the city’s top distillery ASW and Sweetwater Brewery, a local makers market, raffles prizes, presentations, city officials and local business engagement will make this event one you do not want to miss. Attendees will also have a chance to learn more about the CID and help envision ways to revive these vital commercial corridors.
The Taste of PiHi is Sunday, November 10th 3pm-6pm at Indie Studios. Tickets are $25 and go on sale Sunday October 27th available at pihialliance.com.
