ULI Atlanta brought this same model of tech- nical assistance to the Metropolitan Atlanta area. Local ULI members volunteer their time to serve on panels. In return, they are provided with a unique opportunity to share their skills and experience to improve their community. Through Technical Assistance Program Panels, ULI Atlanta is able to enhance community leadership, clarify communi- ty needs and assets, and advance land use policies that expand economic opportunity and maximize market poten- tial.

The impact area extends through the heart of downtown Atlanta from the west at Centennial Olympic Park to the internationally and historically significant Auburn Avenue and Mar- tin Luther King National Historic District to the east. The planning work that supported the City of Atlanta’s application for federal transportation funding to support the Atlanta Streetcar identified tremendous economic development potential in the project corridor. The streetcar pro- ject is forecast to produce over $167 million in overall benefits, including 5,600 jobs, over the next 20 years. Sev- eral critical characteristics in the affected area are representative of the opportunity present if the planning pro- cess unfolds in a rigorous and effective manner. These include the following: Over 80 acres of land and many buildings and structures within 2 blocks of the proposed route are con- sidered underutilized. With the Streetcar’s connection to MARTA rail, and future connections to the BeltLine, accessibility can be expanded significantly throughout the region. In facilitating transit oriented development along this route, the quality of life for residents, employees, visitors, shoppers, and students will greatly improve and provide economic opportunities for businesses large and small to prosper. In addition to the proposed benefits to the area, precedent analyses of cities that have implemented modern streetcar systems demonstrate the successes of a streetcar system’s unique value creation, for example: Seattle: Between the announcement of the project and the opening of service, property values within 3 blocks of the line rose at higher rates than citywide average property values between 2003 and 2008. Charlotte: Since 2007, there has been $1.8 million development investment, 6,600 new housing units and 800,000 square feet of additional office space. Portland: An original streetcar system investment of $57 million led to $3.5 billion development invest- ment - a 42x multiplier – that, over a 10-year period, included 10,000 housings units and 4.6 million square feet of office space. Unlike many projects on the boards, the Atlanta Streetcar project is fully funded and under construction. In addi- tion, revenue service along the route is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2013. The need to guide and foster reinvestment along the corridor is immediate. TAP Assignment The ULI Atlanta Technical Assistance Program (“TAP”) panel was asked to contribute to the final ‘Strategy’ and to influence ‘Action Plan’ efforts to bring the Strategy to fruition. CAP/ADID sought insight from the TAP panel regard- ing the development opportunities within the Atlanta Streetcar corridor and recommendations to implement the final Strategy. The bottom line question was – “How do we make this happen?” Specific inquires include: 4 Technical Assistance Program What best practice public-private financing tools and strategies should be evaluated for applicability in the corridor? Identify specific incentives and programs that should be pursued. What are the appropriate roles for Central Atlanta Progress, City of Atlanta and Invest Atlanta to play in the advancement of the vision? Should additional detailed development financing investigations and/or site/building due diligence be per- formed for catalytic sites to encourage potential developers and investors to pursue these projects? If so, what kind of investigations should be considered?

    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.
