OPPORTUNITY
The Six Flags corridor is an area of high crime, high poverty and low educational achievement. Low-income apartments, aged retail and low-end hotels dominate the area. A major transformational program has been proposed through the introduction of a Town Center and an Entertainment District that creates an area that could be branded as the Western Gateway to Atlanta. This change to the built environment, along with programming developed to reduce crime and engage citizens, is proposed to the county.
