The government-run development authority in Whitfield County, Ga., is backing $4.2 million in tax-free bonds to prepare property for a retail-restaurant development on Shugart Road that will include a Kohl’s department store.
On Tuesday, the Dalton-Whitfield County Joint Development Authority agreed to the bond package, which will be repaid by the developer, but backed by the authority in case of default.

No one will say what businesses will occupy the retail center, but the developer’s website contained a handful of schematics and other documents that listed Kohl’s as the principal tenant in the seven-building Dalton Commons shopping center on 12.4 acres in front of Walmart and Home Depot.
The files were modified to remove Kohl’s logo Tuesday after a Chattanooga Times Free Press reporter asked the developer if Kohl’s was the otherwise unidentified retail tenant.
