Atlanta Regional Commission staff is hosting a open house 5-8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Strand Theatre to share information about the Atlanta Region’s Plan — the region’s plan through the year 2050. Residents will be able to provide their input on a major update to this plan, which is the region’s long range blueprint that details investments needed to ensure metro Atlanta’s future success. The Strand Theatre is located at 117 N. Park Square, Marietta.
At the open house, attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Explore the Atlanta region’s future through hands-on activities, including an online scenario planning game and a “living infographic” station where residents can give feedback on their biggest desires and concerns for the region.
- Learn about key regional issues, such as advances in transportation technology and innovative efforts to address the region’s housing affordability challenges.
- Search an online database to learn about transportation projects that are planned throughout the region over the next 30 years.
The Atlanta Region’s Plan incorporates a range of planning and programmatic elements, including transportation, community development, natural resources, workforce development and aging and independence services. The plan aims to improve mobility, create vibrant, walkable communities, ensure a clean, abundant water supply and meet the needs of the region’s population of older adults and disabled individuals.
