The Stockbridge City Council voted at its May 26 workshop meeting to approve a revised boundary map for the city’s Downtown Development Authority.

According to city staff, the DDA’s previous geographical boundary was the same as the Main Street map, and DDA leadership requested the change in 2017. The new boundary proposed by staff would include nearby commercial and retail parcels south along N. Henry Blvd. to Rock Quarry Road and north along E. Atlanta Road to Valley Hill Road, as well as vacant an undeveloped parcels along both corridors that could spur future downtown development.

The map approved by the council reached north to Rico’s restaurant and west to Stockbridge First United Methodist Church.
