2. SOME FACTS
• Peachtree Parkway sets the first impression of our county.
• 30,000 cars travel Peachtree Parkway every day.
• 400+ businesses line the Peachtree Parkway corridor.
• There are 24 medians and 8 miles of road to maintain.
• GDOT mows the medians twice per year at a cost of $15k/year.
• A traditional CID will not work for us like it has for North Fulton and Gwinnett.
• McGinnis Ferry and Mathis Airport landscaping – funding not tax-subsidized
3. WHY DO THIS?
• Peachtree Parkway is already zoned to be a commercial corridor. Businesses are coming.
• Attract better quality businesses that will benefit our community and give back.
• Have more aesthetically pleasing medians.
• Increase home values.
• Create a feeling of community pride and identity.
• Domino effect. As the area is improved existing businesses will want to step it up to compete.
• Encourage residents to stay and spend their tax dollars here in Forsyth County not
neighboring counties.
4. THE BIG PICTURE
• Start now with increased mowing,
blowing, edging, removal of trash.

press.

government.

grass to choke out the weeds.
