11-18-10 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

At noon I met with Brian Glover from Penstar to review the benefits of the Fulton Corridor Specific Plan to downtown projects. The two downtown plans will be back to the City Council for contract approval on the morning of the 28th.



At 4:30 Elliott Balch and I met with a potential educational tenant. We gave them an overview of the downtown revitalization efforts like the specific plan and entertainment district concept. Elliott gave them a downtown tour on Tuesday morning.


6:00 Members of the Faith Community hosted a Town Hall meeting at First Presbyterian Church in downtown to learn more about the downtown planning efforts, especially the Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan and how it will reverse decades of neglect, decline and disinvestment. About 100 people showed up and there were many speakers and great questions. The Mayor attended and began the discussion. I was on hand for questions on the details of the plan.


8:00 I met with Darius Assemi to fill him in on the downtown plans and to explain how the clarity and environmental review will speed up the downtown development process and to provide clarity to the planning review process.
