BUSINESS DIRECTORY 2024 SSA 32

The Special Service Area (SSA) 32 is a business district designed to fund and manage programs or improvements within a specific area of the community. Program revenue is generated by a special property tax levy to cover service or improvement costs. SSA revenue enables the municipality to provide a public service to a portion of its jurisdiction without burdening the entire community with a debt or operating tax.

​

The mission of the Auburn Gresham Ashland Ave SSA 32 is to improve the economic viability and stability of the business community by encouraging a clean, attractive, and safe environment for property owners, tenants, residents as well as visitors within the Auburn Gresham Community. Authorized services include, but are not limited to: maintenance and beautification, security services, economic development, and marketing.

SSA 32 is supported by the 17th Ward Alderman David Moore, the 21st Ward Alderman Howard Brookins Jr, and the 6th Ward Alderman Rodrick Sawyer.
