Atlanta Beltline Bus Tour

Atlanta Beltline Bus Tour

Sally English Atlanta Beltline TourAtlanta Beltline Bus Tour goes beyond Piedmont park to see sections under development in West Atlanta and beyond – Sally English DeKalb Board of Realtors took the half day guided tour to see new development along the Atlanta Beltline.

My observation is that the Atlanta Beltline goes far beyond added park or recreational opportunities for the City of Atlanta.

I believe the Atlanta Beltline has become an economic generator for the City and Beyond.  The Atlanta Beltline tour opened up my eyes for potential development projects that could occur in other parts of the City.

The Ponce City market is a prime example of how space can be re-purposed for today’s lifestyles.
