#ROTTENWOOD CREEK TRAIL MARIETTA UPDATE#
This major plan update will help further develop the aerotropolis concept and leverage funding for a pedestrian bridge connecting the Georgia International Convention Center to downtown College Park.Ĭontact: Artie Jones, director of economic development, 40, of Doraville & City of Chamblee This 15-year plan update will bring the community together to address the generational divide around the future vision of Buckhead and the transportation capacity needed to better connect residents to jobs and amenities amid intense development.Ĭontact: Jim Durrett, executive director, 40, of College Park The nine LCI planning grants awarded this year include six major updates to plans already underway and three supplemental grants to help continue existing studies. “From established centers like Buckhead to bustling suburban downtowns like Jonesboro and Smyrna, LCI is helping communities re-imagine what they can be and then helping make those visions a reality.” “Communities all over the region are eager to revitalize their town centers and underutilized properties to create places that foster a vibrant, neighborhood feel and environment,” said Doug Hooker, ARC executive director. The grants provide 80 percent of funding for each study or transportation project, with the recipient making a 20 percent match. The LCI program is funded with federal transportation dollars. LCI communities cover less than four percent of the region’s land area, but contain seven percent of its recent residential development, 29 percent of its recent commercial development and 69 percent of its recent office development. Since LCI began in 2000, 112 communities have received more than $197 million in planning and implementation grants. “Our local government partners have used these grants to devise strategies that improve livability by increasing walkability, encouraging healthier lifestyles and improving access to jobs and services.” “Our board created LCI in 1999 to help communities across our region reinvent and improve themselves,” said Kerry Armstrong, ARC chair. Once the studies are complete, these communities will become eligible for transportation funding to help implement their plans. The LCI study grants will help recipients develop plans and policies that support the creation of more vibrant, connected places. The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has awarded $800,000 in Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study grants to nine metro Atlanta communities and $12 million in transportation funding to 11 other communities that have previously implemented completed LCI studies.
