AEROTROPOLIS BEGINS TURF PROGRAM The AACIDs partners with Russell Landscape Group to provide on-going landscape maintenance and new landscape installation. We’ve been hard at work over the past couple of years trying to beautify the area. In Fall 2018, we began a new turf program on Camp Creek between North Commerce Drive and Centre Parkway to test a treatment to reduce weeds to promote healthy grass growth. The results have been incredible, transforming the area from predominately weeds to grass. The AACIDs are expanding this program along Camp Creek from US 29 (Roosevelt Hwy) in College Park, through East Point to Enon Road in South Fulton. You can expect to see some browning and bare spots in the process, but this time next year, expect to amazing changes to the medians.
AEROTROPOLIS KICKS OFF FREIGHT CLUSTER PLAN The Aerotropolis Atlanta Freight Cluster Plan (FCP) formally held its kick off Thursday, April 18, 2019 with a Steering Committee meeting and bus tour. The Steering Committee met at the Aerotropolis headquarters for a briefing and background and then toured the Aerotropolis area, focusing on freight corridors and activity. The FCP study is being led by Aerotropolis Atlanta Community Improvement Districts (AACIDs) and partners, including the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), the Aerotropolis Alliance, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Fulton and Clayton Counties, 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. The FCP area was estimated to be $313 billion more than five years ago and has seen double-digit expansion since the last study was done. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
