We are well underway with our Freight Cluster Plan (FCP). The FCP will help us to better understand the freight and the logistics process that impacts our region. We are working in tandem with several partners, including the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), the Aerotropolis Alliance, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Int'l Airport (ATL), Fulton and Clayton Counties, and and the cities of Hapeville, East Point, College Park, South Fulton and Forest Park. The study will examine the existing and projected future conditions of freight movement around the airport and recommend improvements that will aid in the continued movement of cargo in and through the airport area. A big part of the goal of this study is to address and recommend safety improvements. Thus far, we have held a bus tour and freight forum as a way to to collect accurate data in support of this study. The feedback and support has been well received and appreciated. We have also recorded our first podcast featuring Daniel Studdard, Principal Planner with ARC and Stan Reecy, Project Manager with the Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs.
