The 19th Transform Westside Summit focused on the DRAFT action plan for the Atlanta University Center and its surrounding neighborhoods (the fifth of five target areas). Stakeholder and community input, market research and previous plan reviews were collected to create schematic designs and visuals for the neighborhood. The Action Plan Team shared its initial findings and recommendations for the regeneration of the neighborhoods in conjunction with planned infrastructure improvements. Questions and public input are welcome and encouraged. This is the fifth of a series of presentations to engage stakeholders and the community in creating a comprehensive Land-Use Action Plan for the Westside.
