  • Chapter 3: Where Are We
    3 Where Are We Now 3.1 Socio‐Economic Overview The ARTS planning area after suffering along with the nation from the bursting of the housing bubble in mid‐2007 has recently commenced a sustained socio‐economic comeback. The relatively low cost of living, maturing of the baby‐boom population, military influence, and the natural beauty in the region continues to sustain population growth. The dominance of stable public sector jobs has been eclipsed by service sector job growth, primarily in the areas of health care, data management, information technology and educational services. The opening of a UNISYS Call Center in downtown Augusta, relocation of the National Cyber Command to Fort Gordon, construction of the Augusta Corporate Park and the establishment of supporting businesses and accommodations servicing these new employers will enhance the economic strengths of the ARTS planning area. However, with the increasing competition from other metropolitan areas to secure jobs, challenges remain for the ARTS planning area. A selection of opportunities, strengths and future socio‐economic challenges in the study area are presented in Table 4. Table 4: Opportunities, Strengths, and Challenges Challenges Opportunities and Strengths Availability of workforce for new industries Abundant and qualified workforce Availability of sites for industrial location Robust Transportation Infrastructure Concentration of health services and Availability of supporting infrastructure activity centers Neighborhoods requesting public Extent of Public Transportation

  • After 4 of July Pause, Summer Highway Construction to Resume
    Visit us on Facebook or Twitter. For Immediate Release: Contact: Tuesday, July 1, 2014 Natalie Dale: 404.631.1814 Summer Construction 2014… After 4th of July Pause, Summer Highway Construction To Resume With Significant WestSide I-285 & I-20 Weekend Traffic Impacts ATLANTA – With summer underway, the Georgia Department of Transportation is advising motorists they should plan ahead to avoid overheated radiators (and tempers) – especially those who anticipate travelling weekends on Interstate 285 on the west side of Metropolitan Atlanta or the 70+-mile stretch of Interstate 20 between Carroll and Newton counties. First, a holiday travelers’ reprieve – no construction-related lane closures on interstates between Noon, this Thursday, July 3, and 5 a.m., next Monday, July 7. Then some back-ups likely begin... A major reconstruction of WestSide I-285 and several projects on I-20 will require multiple lane closures throughout weekends and some single-lane weekday and weeknight closures as well. Significant delays, especially on weekends, are virtually inevitable. “Quite honestly, it won’t be pleasant,” Georgia DOT State Construction Engineer Marc Mastronardi concedes, “especially on the WestSide where I-285 and I-20 share so much long-haul truck traffic. We really implore everyone – Atlantans, out-of-state truckers and motorists simply passing through – to plan ahead by utilizing our free-call 511 phone system and the 511 website: www.511ga.org. You’ll get real- time road conditions and your forethought and planning likely will save you hours.” On I-285, contractors are replacing and repairing deteriorated concrete slabs in both directions on more than 17 miles, roughly between Paces Ferry Road and Camp Creek Parkway.

Therefore two scenarios were also studied by ALDOT to realign I-59/20 further north onto the Finley Boulevard Corridor. The short route branched west from I-59/20 at Tallapoosa Street (Exit 128) 2.5 miles to I-65, and then southward 1.3 miles along a widened (eight lanes) stretch of I-65. Estimated costs for the short route exceeded $1.5 billion with a 20 year plus time table. In Texas, Interstate 20 was an original Interstate Highway, and it was initially approved by the Texas State Highway Commission in 1962 with 634 miles. Early maps showed Interstate 20 passing through Downtown Fort Worth and Dallas along the route currently occupied by Interstate 30; the route shifted once adequate funding for today's Interstate 20 was made available from Interstate Highway Funds. Since the federal funding formula for new Interstate freeways allocated only a certain number of miles to each state, Texas leaders had to find innovative ways to construct an Interstate bypass of both areas to the south of each city.

Citizens are encouraged to attend these meetings. The August 2001 issue of North Augusta Forward reported that the City Council would pur- chase the 196 acres that comprise the Central Riverfront Area.
