Our Placemaking team’s plan in its entirety has included more than 1,200 feet of roadway with significant streetscape improvements (i.e. concrete and brick sidewalks and plazas, specialty paving, streetlights and trees), additional parking spaces, and the design of a 10-acre park complete with an outdoor performance stage. Town Center development has also included more than 60,000 sq. ft. of retail space, a 30,000 sq. ft. City Hall, and hundreds of residential units.
This project has been recognized by several noteworthy entities including the Atlanta Regional Commission (2009 Development of Excellence), the Georgia Municipal and Georgia Trend Magazine (Trendsetter Award in Economic and Community Development), and the Georgia Planning Association (Best Plan Implementation).
