As part of the Imagine Downtown process, JSA was publicized as one of five focus areas requiring planning attention. Dates and times of all public events were posted on the Central Atlanta Progress website (www.atlantadowntown.com). E-mail comments were welcomed and encouraged. Several questions in the online ‘Imagine Survey’ were directed toward development in the JSA-McGill corridor. The centerpieces of the public involvement process were three public workshops; the second being a three-day long ‘Charette Week’ designed to build awareness and excitement through an intense set of collaborative exercises. 2.1.1 Public Workshop 1 The first public workshop was held on August 19, 2003 on the 27th floor of SunTrust Tower; over 200 persons attended. The purpose was to kick off the JSA-McGill LCI process by introducing the project and the team, and to conduct interactive exercises to gauge the initial level of consensus on issues and priorities. The workshop opened with a welcome and introduction by representatives of Central Atlanta Progress, and continued with words and graphics describing the developing programs and potential impact of both the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola.

  • Summer 2009 – Volume 16 Issue 2
    In This Issue GRC in the News pg. 3 Conference Brochure Insert pg. 5 Georgia Recycles Industry News pg. 10 Volume 16 Issue 2 The Georgia Recycling Coalition Newsletter Summer 2009 KAB AND NRC PROPOSE COMBINED OPERATIONS, CREATING A MORE POWERFUL VOICE OF RECYCLING Keep America Beautiful (KAB) has offered, and the National Recycling Coalition (NRC) Board of Directors has accepted, a proposal to combine operations of both organizations. The NRC Board believes that this proposed combination creates a powerful alliance that will enhance the environmental and economic value of recycling in the United States, and sustain NRC as the nation’s most credible Voice of Recycling. This proposal is the most important decision that the Board and membership of NRC has faced in its 30 year history, and rightfully it requires the approval of the membership to take effect. The NRC will conduct a referendum vote of its members before the end of summer. The NRC Board strongly encourages members to carefully review the proposal and consider the dynamic future that it provides for our mission. The proposal was emailed to all GRC members in good standing on June 0, 2009; if you need another copy, please go to the NEWS tab on the GRC website where the letter and associated documents are all posted: www.georgiarecycles.org. As an affiliate of NRC, the Georgia Recycling Coalition members will each be allowed one vote to determine if the NRC board should be directed to expedite this merger. The GRC board will be holding a conference call with Ed Skernolis of NRC and Matt McKenna of KAB to discuss pertinent provisions of the merger with respect to our organization.
