An open house will be held by Atlanta Regional Commission staff from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Strand Theatre, 117 N. Park Square, Marietta.
Information will be shared about the Atlanta Region’s Plan through 2050.
Residents will be able to provide their input on a major update to this plan, the region’s long-range blueprint that details investments needed.
At the open house, according to an ARC statement, attendees also will have the opportunity to:
- Explore the Atlanta Region's future through hands-on activities, including an online scenario planning game and a "living infographic" station where residents can give feedback on their biggest desires and concerns for the region.
- Learn about key regional issues such as advances in transportation technology and innovative efforts to address the region's housing affordability challenges.
- Search an online database to learn about transportation projects that are planned throughout the region over the next 30 years.
The Atlanta Region’s Plan incorporates a range of planning and programmatic elements, including transportation, community development, natural resources, workforce development and aging and independence services.
This plan aims to improve mobility; create vibrant, walkable communities; ensure a clean, abundant water supply and meet the needs of the region’s population of older adults and disabled individuals.
The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) is the official planning agency for the 10-county Atlanta Region, including Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale counties as well as the city of Atlanta and 73 other cities.
