The City is actively trying to revive inner city communities and attract both redevelopment and residents. Consequently, incoming residents and business owners are led to believe they are moving to a community rather than a transportation corridor. In reality, locals are simply waiting for the implementation of Council approved or City made plans such as the Beltline ARP and City Centre Plan.
