Atlanta City Councilmembers Joyce M. Sheperd, Cleta Winslow, Keisha 
Lance Bottoms and the City of Atlanta’s Bureau of Planning seek public 
input in developing a zoning and land-use blueprint in anticipation of 
the closure of the Fort McPherson base. The historic base has been 
ballyhooed as the next Atlantic Station, as well as being an incubator 
for technology.

The Fort McPherson Zoning and Land-Use Blueprint public meetings will be 
held from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. at the Atlanta Technical College, 1560 
Metropolitan Parkway, starting tonight (March 10) in the Academic 
Complex Auditorium. Additional meetings will be held  March 17, March 24 
(in the Dennard Center Ballroom) and March 31.

In total, the Ft. McPherson Redevelopment Project is expected to 
generate 7,000 jobs and with another 5,000 to 6,000 created indirectly 
from the development. The site should also create between $7.4 million 
and $16.2 million annually in property taxes, according to the Ft. 
McPherson Planning Local Redevelopment Authority.
