Frazen et al. v. Downtown Development Auth. of Atlanta et al.
Annotate this CaseThis case involved one of three related bond validation proceedings, all of which concerned the redevelopment of an area of downtown Atlanta referred to as “The Gulch.” After several days of hearings, the trial court concluded that issuance of the bonds in this case would be sound, feasible, and reasonable. Appellants-intervenors, four citizens of the City, raised nine objections to validation of the bonds. In addition to the objections, appellees argued the trial court erred by failing to hold a wholly separate hearing for the purpose of considering their objections. The Georgia Supreme Court found that because of "extensive hearings held by the trial court," appellee's contention that the trial court's consideration of their arguments was inadequate was belied by he record. Appellees also argued there were insufficient findings of fact and law to support the trial court's conclusions. Finding the trial court record sufficient, the Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's judgment with respect to the bond validations.
