Atlanta Housing (AH) has nearly freed itself from a years-long legal entanglement with Integral Group and its development partners. The housing authority’s board of commissioners on Wednesday approved a settlement deal that spells out how 88 acres of valuable, publicly owned land can be developed.
The move, which still must be approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), could finally end the protracted feud between AH and Integral’s development team for projects that would have included affordable housing.
