Jeff Sessions Senator U.S. Senate 1800 Fifth Avenue North, 341 Vance Federal Building Birmingham, AL 35203-2171 Re: Atlanta Optimization of Airspace and Procedures in the Metroplex Environmental Assessment-Early Notification Dear Senator Sessions: This notification letter is to inform you that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) to consider the potential environmental impacts from the proposed airspace and procedure changes associated with the Atlanta Optimization of Airspace and Procedures in the Metroplex (OAPM) study. The “Metroplex” is described as the airspace and airports within a busy metropolitan area, such as Atlanta. In the Atlanta area, the efficiency of aircraft operations would be improved by streamlining airspace and procedures around the Jackson-Hartsfield International Airport and surrounding airports within the Atlanta Metroplex. To evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the OAPM study, the FAA has established a Study Area in which to evaluate potential impacts from proposed changes in aircraft flight paths that may occur. Although your county or district has been included in the Study Area, actual changes may or may not occur within your jurisdiction. The study would not result in changes at or near any of the airports, including changes on the ground or an increase in the number of aircraft operations at airports within the Atlanta Metroplex. This proposed project may involve changes at higher altitudes within the Study Area. The FAA has begun preparation of the Environmental Assessment and intends to issue a final document in early 2014. We welcome your input as we conduct this assessment. We are sending this early notification for the following reasons: 1. To advise you of the Environmental Assessment, 2. To provide you an opportunity to submit any background information that you may have regarding the Study Area established for this Environmental Assessment, and 3. To provide you an opportunity to advise the FAA of any issues, concerns, policies or regulations that you may have regarding the environmental analysis that is being undertaken. A-5 March 2014 Appendix A: Agency Coordination, Public Involvement, and List of Receiving Parties 2 As the environmental analysis and documentation are being compiled, the FAA will be coordinating with the appropriate Federal, State, and Local agencies and Native American Tribes. If you desire to provide comments and/or have any questions about the information provided, please provide them by email or letter before June 14, 2013 to the following address: Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic Organization Eastern Service Center, Operations Support Attn: Bonnie Baskin 1701 Columbia Avenue College Park, GA 30337 or, Email: [email protected] All comments the FAA receives will be considered in the decision-making process. All comments will be addressed by subject matter rather than responded to directly. Sincerely, Barry A.

Designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, the house at 205 The Prado was built in 1910 from locally- quarried granite in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was first home to real estate developer Edwin P. Ansley, founder of Ansley Park, Atlanta’s first automobile suburb. Ellis Arnall, one of the state’s most progressive governors, resided there (1943-47). He was a disputant in the infamous “three governors controversy.” For forty-three years, the mansion was home to twelve governors, until poor maintenance made it nearly uninhabitable. A new governor’s mansion was constructed on West Paces Ferry Road. The granite mansion was razed in 1969, but its garage was converted to a residence. 3 Historical Documentation of the Granite Mansion Edwin P. Ansley Edwin Percival Ansley (see Appendix 1) was born in Augusta, GA, on March 30, 1866. In 1871, the family moved to the Atlanta area. Edwin studied law at the University of Georgia, and was an attorney in the Atlanta law firm Calhoun, King & Spalding.

  • The Atlanta Preservation Center's
    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

  • 5. Airport Roles
    5. AIRPORT ROLES As part of GDOT’s prior airport system plans, criteria were identified to assign each airport in the state system to a role or level. In Georgia, airport levels generally reflect the type of users each airport accommodates and the facilities and services that the airport has in place. Levels also typically reflect the airport’s relative importance, as it relates to meeting the state’s transportation and economic needs and objectives. Further, airport levels are often matched to the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the communities the airport serves. This chapter of the update to the Georgia Statewide Airport System Plan (GSASP) provides the following: • Review of current airport roles. • Comparison of Georgia state airport levels/roles to roles for Georgia airports established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in their ASSET Study or National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). • Discussion of the need to consider change to current airport levels. • Recommendations for changes to current airport levels. Chapter 6, Airport Facility and Service Objectives, examines the ability of each airport to meet facility and service objectives that are applicable to each airport’s recommended level. 5.1 Factors That Influence Current Roles for Georgia Airports Levels for Georgia airports were established in the 2002 GSASP; the following factors were considered in the 2002 system plan to assign Georgia airports to a level: • Coverage: Percentage of the state contained in an airport service area. This factor included the establishment of a 30-minute service area for each airport via a geographic information system (GIS) drive time analysis.

    The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House of Representatives United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 March 20, 2020 Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy: We are America’s travel industry, an economic sector that directly employs 9 million American workers and supports a total of 15.8 million jobs. The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.
