Atlanta continues to invest in the infrastructure behind the city’s growth.
The Atlanta City Council recently approved $1.3 billion in revenue bonds for capital projects and environmental improvements at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
At the same meeting, the city also approved another $99 million for transportation projects including roads, sidewalks and intersection improvements, plus $4.5 million for safety and traffic-calming improvements along Peachtree Street in Midtown.
Real estate development tends to get the headlines, but infrastructure is what makes sustained growth possible.
Atlanta City Council recently approved $1.3 billion in revenue bonds to support capital projects and environmental improvements at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The same meeting included $99 million in additional funding for transportation projects across the city and $4.5 million for Peachtree Street improvements in Midtown.
For those of us watching Atlanta real estate and development, these investments are worth paying attention to.
An international airport, transportation network, utilities and public infrastructure don't just serve existing development. Over time, they can influence where businesses locate, where people choose to live and where additional private investment makes sense.
Atlanta has experienced tremendous growth, and that growth creates its own infrastructure challenges. Continuing to invest in the systems supporting the region will be an important part of maintaining that momentum.
Sometimes the most important real estate story isn't a new development.
It's what gets built around it.
