Learn about the Workforce Partnership Guidance Tool by the The National Fund for Workforce Solutions. This tool is designed to assist both regional funding collaboratives and the workforce partnerships they support. When a collaborative understands what constitutes a productive and well-functioning workforce partnership, it can communicate clearly to the partnerships what it expects of them. When a workforce partnership understands the collaborative’s expectations, it has a better idea how to organize and support all of the necessary components of its work.

Southeast + Southwest Study Group: Southside Trail Design-7.12.16

The third Quarterly Briefing of 2013 covered parks and trails updates; recent funding updates; transit & transportation updates; project & design updates; Art on the Atlanta BeltLine; an update from Atlanta BeltLine Partnership; and more. The featured speaker was Paul Morris, President and CEO of Atlanta BeltLine, Inc.

The Design Review Committee was adopted by the Atlanta City Council on March 15, 2015 to assist the City of Atlanta’s Office of Planning and Community Development in guiding development around the Atlanta BeltLine according to the Atlanta BeltLine Subarea Master Plans.

The City of Atlanta was awarded TIGER V funding for the Atlanta BeltLine for 2.5 miles of shared-use trails, trailheads and access points, and preservation of future streetcar transit corridor in southwest Atlanta.  This is the presentation given at Atlanta BeltLine, Inc.’s Citywide Conversation on October 3, 2013 at Washington High School.

Annual Report, year ending 2014. Highlights include: TADAC Achievements, challenges, performance assessments.

In 2006, the Atlanta City Council adopted legislation approving the outline for the BeltLine Citizen Participation Framework (later renamed the Community Engagement Framework). The legislation establishes the five required components, to include: a Tax Allocation District Advisory Committee and Affordable Housing Advisory Board; a community representative on the ABI Board of Directors; a community engagement advocate on staff; formal community reporting; and the creation of a structure or framework in which to engage the community in the Atlanta BeltLine planning area.The legislation also provides more specific descriptions for each component.

Information packet including a schedule of our outreach efforts in the southeast area, a proposed future land use map, brief Atlanta BeltLine rezoning background, recommended conditions for rezoning, and maps of affected areas within subarea 9.

Adopted in 2005, the Atlanta BeltLine Redevelopment Plan and creation of the BeltLine Tax Allocation District (BeltLine TAD) was deemed necessary to “assure that the City of Atlanta maintains its historical position as the commercial center of the region and provides an alternative to the continued sprawling patterns of development in the region.” The BeltLine TAD will continue through 2030, and will help improve economic and social conditions in the Atlanta BeltLine corridor, benefit underutilized and economically and socially depressed urban areas, and promote development and transit opportunities in the corridor.

The Atlanta BeltLine is one of those rare projects that has the extraordinary potential to transform the City of Atlanta. By creating and enhancing greenspace, trails, transit, and new development along 22 miles of historic rail segments, this revived industrial landscape can become the solution to our scattered pattern of growth, and the framework for a truly sustainable Atlanta.

The Atlanta BeltLine Tax Allocation District Advisory Committee (TADAC) was approved by the Atlanta City Council in 2004. A subsequent vote in 2006 established the framework for the TADAC, and in 2007, TADAC Bylaws were adopted to establish the structure, purpose, and requirements for the organization.

The third quarterly briefing provided program updates and a special presentation celebrating Art of the Atlanta BeltLine, year five.  It was followed by an open house session to allow for attendees to learn more about transit, parks, trails, affordable housing, economic development, public art and brownfield remediation.

The Atlanta City Council voted in 2004 to create the Atlanta BeltLine Tax Allocation District (TAD) to help fund the Atlanta BeltLine. The substitute legislation in 2006 outlines the requirements for TADAC membership and representation, and establishes the rules for structure, governance, reporting, and auditing.

Citywide Conversation: Atlanta BeltLine East & Crosstown Connections Transit Route Options and MARTA Connectivity Formal Environmental Assessment Presentation-August 21, 2014

The Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) Guiding Principles are a broad set of rules developed to encourage, influence, and support the provision of community benefits. They were developed with input from the study group community and refined by a community-led working group, our TAD Advisory Committee, and a developer focus group. The CBA ensures that development on the Atlanta BeltLine is equitable and benefits all members of the community, contributes to a stronger local economy, and promotes increased public participation in the planning process.

Successfully creating a vibrant sense of place requires that the newly created environment positively benefits the people living there, including both existing and new residents. The BeltLine Equitable Development Plan seeks to ensure geographic balance through equitable investment in all communities along the corridor, preserve single family neighborhoods, as well as cultural and historic qualities, minimize involuntary economic displacement through tax policies and affordble housing initiatives, and create long-term employment and small business opportunities.

Like the cathedral builders of an earlier time, the visionaries described in this memoir share a single desire: to create something that endures. The great cathedrals did not soar skyward because their builders discovered new materials or financial resources; rather, the builders had a unique understanding of the human spirit that enabled them to use those materials in a new way. So, too, have the extraordinary people Bill Shore has met in his travels as one of the nation’s leading social entrepreneurs, a new movement of citizens who are tapping the vast resources of the private sector to improve public life.

Rob Brawner of the Atlanta BeltLine Partnership began the meeting by sharing a draft model of the work that the group has been engaged in and will need to be engaged in moving forward (see attached); the model, while preliminary, should provide the group with a framework to understand the connections between the range of efforts by various committees, staff and other partners.

The meeting was focused on updates and next steps from three of the five standing committees who had met in June: Data, Policy/Program and Marketing.

The Employment Advisory Group hopes to coordinate with related initiatives around the city. With this in mind, ABI was asked to give a presentation on its Equitable Development Plan with an eye towards identifying key goals, metrics and timelines that the Advisory group should try to align with.

The overarching task of the meeting was to develop a framework for taking the work of the Atlanta BeltLine Employment Advisory Group (ABEAG) from theory to action.

Emory MBA students present their research to the Atlanta BeltLine Partnership on workforce development efforts, particularly those efforts focused on particular places as well as populations and sectors. In addition the students interviewed key private sector employers around the Atlanta BeltLine to investigate how businesses currently “source” talent to fill jobs, as well as identifying potential challenges for local business to create pipelines from Atlanta BeltLine neighborhoods.

The Atlanta BeltLine Partnership convened a group of critical stakeholders to develop a set of strategies to link residents of Atlanta BeltLine neighborhoods with existing and future jobs around the Atlanta BeltLine.

The West Connection natural neighborhood is situated near numerous colleges, universities and schools—Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse, Morris Brown, Spellman and Washington High School—that make this area special to Atlanta. It is a core center of connection for Atlanta’s citizens to the important teaching and research efforts of these institutions. Neighborhoods in the West Connection area include Hunter Hills, Washington Park, Mozley Park, Westview, West End, Ashview Heights and Harris Chiles.

The Water Works natural neighborhood includes the areas of Underwood Hills, Loring Heights, Home Park and Bland Town. Trees in this natural neighborhood feature plants of exotic shapes and textures that revolve around the theme of “water play.” Many of the plant names suggest a whimsical association with water: Water Oak, Umbrella Magnolia, Golden Raintree, Corkscrew Willow, Devils Walking Stick and Monkey Puzzle Tree.

The Warehouse Row natural neighborhood is a narrow right-of-way segment between rows of warehouses and the stretch of trail that follows the road. Neighborhoods in the Warehouse Row area include Westview, Cascade Road, Oakland City and West End. Trees in this neighborhood will have high visual impact that can be appreciated while traveling faster than walking speed. This landscape of motion also features ancient and primitive trees that have existed for a long time.

The Urban Forest Corridor natural neighborhood is a celebration of the role that urban trees play in revitalizing neighborhoods and is the home of the Trees Atlanta Kendeda Center. The Urban Forest Corridor highlights urban street trees, the BeltLine Arboretum Nursery and the importance of selecting the “right tree for the right place.” Neighborhoods in this area include Ormewood Park, Grant Park, Glenwood Park, Cabbagetown and Reynoldstown.

The Quarry natural neighborhood includes the Bellwood Quarry, a large granite surface mine, which is the largest proposed addition to the City of Atlanta’s park system. Currently, it is not open to the public and visitors will be considered as trespassing. Plant collections in this natural neighborhood represent the rock outcrop communities of Georgia, particularly species endemic to the southeast piedmont that are found nowhere else in the world. Neighborhoods in this area include Rockdale, Knight Park, Grove Park, Bankhead and English Avenue.

Railroads created Atlanta and have transformed the city and its landscape. In an effort to interpret our history, trees in this natural neighborhood represent species used for railroad materials, wood products and wood manufacturing. The Gap natural neighborhood includes Bland Town and Knight Park and is home to the King Plow Center.

The Southern Way natural neighborhood includes many historic resources and includes important Atlanta neighborhoods like Peopletown, Summerhill, Grant Park, Englewood Manor, Chosewood, South Atlanta, Carver Homes, High Point and Joyland. The BeltLine Arboretum in this area focuses on the plants of the Piedmont Uplands which highlight the importance of our own special piedmont region in Georgia.

The Piedmont Park natural neighborhood is not only rich with history, but a haven for birds and wildlife. Neighborhoods in this area include Ansley Park, Midtown, Virginia Highland and Morningside/Lenox Park. Trees in this area will complement and be a tribute to the Olmsted brothers’ tradition and design style. You will find beautiful specimens, evergreens, and large stately trees with a powerful presence that create a sense of place.

Perhaps the most historically significant area in Atlanta, the New South natural neighborhood is home of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical District and Center, the Carter Center, Freedom Parkway, and City Hall East. It includes the neighborhoods of Midtown, Morningside/Lenox Park, St. Charles Greenwood, Poncey Highlands, Bedford Pine, Old Fourth Ward, and Inman Park. Trees planted in the New South will reflect a variety of species, both native and exotic, that are symbolic of the South.

The Murphy’s Crossing natural neighborhood plantings build on Atlanta’s regional identity and agriculture heritage. The tree collections are focused on the redevelopment of the farmer’s market heritage site and existing buildings and include representations of orchards, field edges, windbreaks and plantations. Neighborhoods in the Murphy’s Crossing area include Capitol Hill, Capitol View Manor and Adair Park. Because it sits on the Subcontinental Divide, depending on your exact location in Murphy’s Crossing, the water will either flow to the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean.

The Hulsey Yard natural neighborhood is located on the Subcontinental Divide and includes the neighborhoods of Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, Edgewood and Inman Park. Because it sits on the Subcontinental Divide, depending on your exact location in Hulsey Yard, the water will either flow to the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the long history of development and industry on these areas, their landscapes feature tree species that remove soil toxins and add important nitrogen to the soil.

The Entrenchment Creek natural neighborhood is defined by the two upstream headwaters of Entrenchment Creek, which eventually flows southeast to the Atlantic coastal plain. Neighborhoods in this area include Grant Park, Ormewood Park and Boulevard Heights. Trees in this neighborhood are typical of coastal plain plant communities found in South Georgia, including evergreens, coastal swamp trees and coastal oaks.

The Confluence natural neighborhood is a haven for wildlife and birds. The area is situated along the forested creek margins of Tanyard, Peachtree and Clear Creeks. Neighborhoods in this area include Collier Hills, Collier Hills North, Channing Valley, Spring Lake, Ardmore Park, Haynes Manor, Peachtree Hills, Garden Hills, Lindbergh and Brookwood Hills. Trees in this neighborhood highlight the importance of wetland, floodplain, and stream edge/riparian species for water quality, flood protection and wildlife habitat.

The Clear Creek is a refuge for birds and wildlife. Trees in this natural neighborhood demonstrate the role and importance of plants in managing rainwater in an urban environment. Neighborhoods in this area include Sherwood Forest, Ansley Park and Piedmont Heights. Habitat rich in water gardens and critically-needed restoration work will improve the quality of the Clear Creek-Peachtree Creek-Chattahoochee watershed. Protecting the watershed provides clean water for both people and wildlife.
