We are happy to inform you that after many years of effort by Central Atlanta Progress and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, last Tuesday City Council formally approved new vending legislation and also adopted the proposed Woodruff Park Master Plan.
The vending legislation allows the City to contract with General Growth Properties, a well-known national firm, to manage the City's vending program. This will allow for new, attractive vending outlets, a broader more enticing product mix, vendor training, as well as financial assistance to vendors provided through the Atlanta Development Authority.
The approval of a Woodruff Park Master Plan calls for exciting new long-term changes and additions. Park amenities could include a food vending station, new lighting, and a possible sit-down restaurant, as well as other infrastructure enhancements that are in the plan. In all, long-term projections call for $3.5 million in enhancements. Thanks to all who weighed-in with Council members with calls and e-mails on these issues and participated in the process. Your continued support makes historic changes such as these possible.
