South Fulton receives community development assistance grant
The city of South Fulton recently announced it is one of 18 metro Atlanta communities to receive a Community Development Assistance Program study grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission. According to a press release, the city has been awarded three CDAP projects, the “Campbellton Crossroads Village Study,” the “South Fulton District 4 Resiliency Program” and “Washington Road’s Walkability Study.”
City leaders will use these plans to make informed planning decisions regarding the expansion of the pedestrian and mobility strategies and land use policies.
In 2018, the Atlanta Regional Commission launched the Community Development Assistance Program that takes a much more deliberate approach, dedicating resources on an annual basis in a way that enables the agency to serve even more communities. The grants will help recipients develop plans and policies that create more vibrant, walkable, and connected places.
The city plans to launch the project in late summer 2019. Once the studies are complete, the city will become eligible to receive funding for transportation projects such as sidewalks and intersection improvements to help implement their visions.
In addition, the ARC has also awarded Livable Centers Initiative projects for the Airport West Community Improvement District’s Aerotropolis Greenway Concept Development and a Community Development Assistance Program for Aerotropolis Alliance’s Land Use Study. Both projects will include areas within the City of South Fulton.
