Parkside Hotel brownfield development

Birmingham

Description

A proposed 140-room hotel with a signature restaurant and retail space on a brownfield site, supported by a 10-year non-educational property tax abatement and a state lodging tax rebate. No record of Council action was provided.

Impact summary

The project would add hotel rooms and a restaurant downtown, but the tax abatement means a decade of foregone non-educational property tax revenue.

Parkside hotel tax rebates

The Council was scheduled to consider a 10-year abatement of state, county and city non-educational property taxes for a 140-room hotel with a restaurant and retail on a brownfield site at 1625-1631 First Avenue South, plus a rebate of state lodging taxes. Supporters frame it as an incentive for a downtown development; the tradeoff is a decade of foregone tax revenue.
