The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has stepped up
ROBERT STEUTEVILLE MAR. 1, 2002
The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has stepped up its model smart growth grant program, called the Livable Centers Initiative, awarding more than $28 million in 2002 — compared to $1 million in 2001. The program is the largest of its kind, using US Department of Transportation dollars to build infrastructure for transit-oriented development and other mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented projects (see July/August 2001 issue). Sixteen Atlanta area communities received implementation grants totaling $27.7 million, and 10 received planning grants totaling $717,000.
