Map Appendix 10072010.124 CEDS PLANS Introduction The dispersal of population into once remote and rural areas has caused land consumption to soar. According to the U.S. Bureau of Census Data on Urbanized Areas, from 1970 to 1990, Atlanta experienced a 161.3% growth in total land area, while Chattanooga showed an expansion of 120.1%. These two metro areas are linked by Interstate 75, and as they grow together, they will consume much unprotected land in the fifteen-county region. While population growth is a factor in land consumption, development patterns are as important. From 1970 to 1990, the population of Detroit decreased by 7%, while sprawl increased by 28%.

  • The Bandy Heritage Center for Northwest Georgia Atlanta Campaign Driving Tour from Tunnel Hill to Resaca
    1 The Bandy Heritage Center for Northwest Georgia Atlanta Campaign Driving Tour From Tunnel Hill to Resaca Overview After their humiliating defeat on the slopes of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge on November 24-25, 1863, the dispirited forces of General Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee fell back through Ringgold Gap to establish new lines, refresh, and refit in the vicinity of Dalton, Georgia. After losing the confidence of his troops and the loyalty of his subordinates, Bragg resigned his command and traveled to Richmond, Virginia, to serve as Confederate President Jefferson Davis’s military advisor. Davis then appointed General Joseph E. Johnston as the new commander of the Army of Tennessee. Despite Davis’s longstanding personal animosity toward Johnston as well as his doubts about the general’s military acumen and judgment, Davis hoped Johnston could salvage the Confederacy’s deteriorating situation in the Western Theater. Johnston arrived in Dalton in December 1863 and immediately established a strong defensive position in the mountainous terrain north and east of the town. He would eventually command a revitalized 50,000-man army organized into three army corps. Commanded by Lieutenant Generals William J. Hardee, John B. Hood, and Leonidas Polk, Polk’s corps, initially stationed at various points in defense of northern Alabama, would not fully unite with Johnston’s other forces until the action in Resaca. Meanwhile, significant changes had taken place within the Union command at Chattanooga. After the decisive victory at Missionary Ridge, General Ulysses S. Grant was summoned east to assume command of all Federal armies.

  • How Much Is Enough?
    how much is enough? YWCA OF NORTHWEST GEORGIA 3 Years at a Glance 7/01/2012 - 6/30/2015 48 Henderson Street Marietta, Georgia 30064 770-427-2902 Hotline: 770-427-3390 northwest georgia www.ywcanwga.com ywca of northwest georgia Your YWCA of Northwest Georgia is a dynamic agency whose work focuses on programs to reduce domestic violence and sexual assault. We seek to ensure that those who find themselves facing one of these challenges find hope and a renewed sense of purpose. In 1978, the YWCA opened the first domestic violence shelter in the State of Georgia. Started by advocates who deemed a need for a domestic violence shelter, the program began in a three bedroom house in Cobb County. Now, 38 years later, the request for domestic violence beds has increased significantly and space requirements have changed. Since 2008, the YWCA has had a 181% increase in requests for services (Legal Advocacy 55%, Sexual Assault 46%, Counseling 41% and Domestic Violence 39%). This increase is linked to community awareness of our programs and services and is believed to be a direct result of job loss, home foreclosures, financial losses, fear of the unknown and anger displacement. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence states 1 in 3 women will be subject to some form of intimate partner violence in her lifetime. The increase in victims forced the YWCA to look at their facilities and evaluate how they could help more people. In 2009, the YWCA of Northwest Georgia launched a $7.2 million capital campaign. The goals were to build 12 transitional housing apartments where the old swimming pool once stood and expand and renovate the counseling/training facilities, computer lab, regional sexual assault center, and existing office space.
