WARNER ROBINS -- A public hearing was held Thursday for the proposed Warner Robins tax allocation district, a project that seeks to establish special tax districts to encourage redevelopment in the north part of the city.

Six people, including residents, council members and city employees, attended the hearing.

City Council approved earlier this month a draft of the plan, which proposes that the first district be established by Dec. 31. The plan includes renovating Commercial Circle and the east end of Watson Boulevard, establishing a technology and industry corridor along Ga. 247, and developing a hotel and conference center and new neighborhoods.
