“From just a grassroots movement, Atlanta Beltline has become the force for the construction of a massive infrastructure in our community,” says Jenny Odom, communications and media relations manager.įor its potential to transform the city of Atlanta, and especially for its completion of the development of over 1,300 acres of park land, the Atlanta Beltline has been designated a Crown Community for Parks. Once completed, the project will create a network of public parks, multi-use trains and transit along a historic 22-mile railroad corridor, circling downtown and connecting many neighborhoods to each other. From an idea developed in a student’s master’s thesis in 1999, the Atlanta Beltline has emerged as a focus for recreation, economic development and transportation throughout the entire metropolitan area.
