We report high-precision atmospheric parameters for 1907 stars in the N2Klow-resolution spectroscopic survey, designed to identify metal-rich FGK dwarfslikely to harbor detectable planets. 284 of these stars are in the idealtemperature range for planet searches, T_eff <= 6000K, and have a 10% orgreater probability of hosting planets based on their metallicities. The starsin the low-resolution spectroscopic survey should eventually yield >60 newplanets, including 8-9 hot Jupiters. Short-period planets have already beendiscovered orbiting the survey targets HIP 14801 and HD 149143.Comment: Accepted for publication in Astrophysical Journal Supplements. 24 pages, including 8 figures and one table. Two more tables will appear in ApJS online editio
