Getting Involved With Community Redevelopment

A few years ago when I heard that Fort McPherson was on the U.S. Army's "Closing" list I didn't know quite what to make of it. Many of my neighbors in the Southwest Communities of Atlanta were afraid that the void created by the closing of the base would leave our in-town community devastated: loss of jobs, empty and unused property, and loss of revenue. Then we heard the 480 plus acre Fort McPherson (Ft. Mac) property was to be redeveloped. Oh Joy!!! - or maybe not. This blog has as its focus the existing neighborhood involvement in the redevelopment process - stay tuned....
