The Atlanta Regional Commission has awarded $985,000 to 11 communities in metro Atlanta, including the city of Forest Park. The funds are part of the commission’s Livable Centers Initiative study grants, helping recipients develop plans and policies that support the creation of more vibrant, connected communities.
Once the studies are complete, these communities will become eligible to receive funding for transportation projects, such as sidewalks and intersection improvements, to help implement their visions.
Forest Park is a part of the Aerotropolis Atlanta Community Improvement District which was granted $160,000. The Aerotropolis study will develop a plan for a trail network that connects the communities around Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport as well as the Atlanta Beltline, the Phoenix Trail and Southtown Trail.
