June 10, 2024 // A COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER COMPLAINT was submitted to the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and Georgia Department of Community Affairs outlining numerous and ongoing violations of the Comprehensive Development Planning process by the City of Atlanta. In short, the City failed to disclose or involve the public of its omission of the 300-acre former Prison Farm parcel (from the South River Forest/Park) in its Comprehensive Development Plan.
On June 12th, SRWA and partners held a press conference outside an Atlanta CDP “Plan A” public meeting in Inman Park. Watch the conference on our social pages @southriverga.
YOU CAN SIGN THE COMPLAINT
Any individual, group, organization, business or other entity in the state of Georgia can sign. Your support helps demonstrate the breadth of communities excluded from Atlanta’s decision to lease 300 acres of public land to the Atlanta Police Foundation.
Please consider emailing ARC’s Director, Anna Roach, directly at aroach@atlantaregional.org. Tell her ARC must enforce its own public engagement process!
Thank you.
