Grant to help Chamblee update plan

Chamblee has won an $80,000 grant to update a development plan for part of its downtown.

The Atlanta Regional Commission awarded the money as a follow up to the city’s Livable Center Initiative plan around the MARTA station. The city first created that plan in 2000, to focus on transportation and development in that area.

The update will focus on continuing mixed-use projects in the area and more walkable features.
