Posted by parksandrec in Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, Urban Agriculture on August 28th, 2009
On Sept. 10-11, the City of Atlanta Dept. of Planning and Community Develpment will be in the SW area to fill Atlanta residents in on the Project Greenspace Plan. This was approved back in 1993 and now the firm that prepared the study needs community input. As part of the New Century Economic Development Plan, the city calls completion of this master plan to address preservation, acquisition and management of open space, a priority and recognizes citizen participation to be vital to the process. Please plan to join me.
