The Healthy Food Bill
Georgia offers tax credits for healthy food stores
Healthy Food Access Tax Credit Act; enact
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would give tax credits to people who open or improve stores that sell healthy food in poorer neighborhoods, helping locals get better food options.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The credit could spur new grocery spots in food deserts, giving families fresh choices and possibly lowering prices, but it also reduces state tax revenue, so voters should watch the cost.
