  • BUILD with STRENGTH GEORGIA MARKET INTELLIGENCE REPORT Analysis of Property Architecture, Construction, and Management Projects
    www.BuildWithStrength.com BUILD WITH STRENGTH GEORGIA MARKET INTELLIGENCE REPORT Analysis of property architecture, construction, and management projects UPDATED 8.30.2016 The mission of Build with Strength is to educate the building and design communities and policymakers on the benefits of ready mixed concrete, ensuring it remains the material of choice for low-to mid-rise structures. There is no other material that can replicate concrete’s advantages in terms of strength, durability, safety, and ease of use. Based upon a review of publicly available information, our analysis shows at least 15 current property development companies, including real estate, architecture, and construction firms, with projects in various planning phases throughout Georgia. Several newsworthy structures are expected to open to tenants within the next two years. The projects range from residential complexes to commercial and mixed-use development properties. They vary in size, from 6 to 12-stories, to 17 to 29- stories, and up to 42-stories. These projects, highlighted in the real estate market for their designs, offer tremendous opportunity—we now have insights and familiarity with upcoming plans that we can leverage to bring awareness to the benefits of building with concrete so that Georgia can continue to be a state built to withstand the test of time. This high-level analysis is meant to provide general awareness of the market and direct resources and efforts to highlight the use of ready mixed concrete and to educate others on the benefits of building

  • The 2019 Annual Noise Report
    Introduction: DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK) is located in a highly noise-sensitive area as it is surrounded by residential communities. Aircraft noise is noise pollution generated by an aircraft, and may occur during all phases of flight. For instance, while aircraft are on the ground, taxiing, operating auxiliary power units (APUs), and conducting run-ups may contribute noise pollution to the surrounding areas. While aircraft are in the air, noise pollution can occur underneath and to the sides of departure and arrival paths. The primary goal of the PDK Good Neighbor Program is to serve as a community-based program with aims to reduce aircraft noise levels in the vicinity of the airport. Since its inception, the program has sought to increase awareness of airport operations and develop airport/community partnerships with the surrounding cities of Chamblee, Doraville, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, North Atlanta (including the Buckhead community), and others. The program is a multifaceted one that uses many approaches to convey information in a succinct manner. The program strives to reduce overall aircraft noise disturbances by soliciting airport-user involvement. Community and airport participation, learning, and cooperation are the keys to the program’s success. This report provides a monthly summary of airport operations, noise disturbances, and impacts to the surrounding neighborhoods to airport users and the surrounding communities. 2019 Aircraft Operations: This Last Year % Change from 2018 5-Year Average Year Total Operations 161,367 151,132 6.77% 153,663 Itinerant 118,569 109,310 8.47% 114,451 Local 42,798 41,822 2.33% 39,211 Voluntary Curfew Ops 3,974 3,628 4.58% 3,735 Prior Authorization (124) Noise disturbance calls associated with these flights.

  • Predicting Revitalization a Descriptive Narrative and Predictive Analysis of Neighborhood Revitalization in Atlanta, Georgia
    Georgia Institute of Technology Predicting Revitalization A Descriptive Narrative and Predictive Analysis of Neighborhood Revitalization in Atlanta, Georgia Caroline E. Burnette Applied Research Paper Advisor: Dr. Subhrajit Guhathakurta May 4, 2017 Over the past two decades, revitalization has been transforming many of Atlanta’s unique neighborhoods and attracting new residents, businesses, and investments to the city’s urban core. This has resulted in positive and negative effects that are important to consider as redevelopment continues throughout Atlanta, especially in low‐income or disadvantaged communities. In order to mitigate the consequences of redevelopment while highlighting opportunities for growth and innovation, it is important to investigate how and why some Atlanta neighborhoods undergo revitalization earlier or at a more rapid pace than others. This paper seeks to identify significant physical, sociodemographic, and policy‐related factors that may catalyze or otherwise predict revitalization in certain communities, and then apply these indicators to Atlanta’s remaining neighborhoods to classify those with a greater potential to revitalize in the coming years. To achieve this, a time‐lagged probit model was developed to measure hypothesized revitalization indicators within each of Atlanta’s Neighborhood Statistical Areas across multiple time periods. This model suggests that revitalization often occurs in Atlanta neighborhoods that overlap with designated historic districts, those that are within walking distance of transit stations and the Beltline, those that are adjacent to other revitalized neighborhoods, those with lower percentages of renter‐occupied housing units, and those with greater proportions of jobs in creative, higher education, and professional and technical service industries. Using these results, the model identified other neighborhoods that contain a combination of factors which make them susceptible to revitalization.

  • The Value of Historic District Status in Georgia Carlianne Patrick
    JANUARY 22, 2019 The Value of Historic District Status in Georgia Carlianne Patrick cslf.gsu.edu The Value of Historic District Status in Georgia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am especially appreciative of the assistance from Sarah Rogers, Certified Local Government Coordinator for the Historic Preservation Division of the Department of Natural Resources, for providing guidance and original documentation on many of the local historic districts; Allison Duncan, principal planner for the Atlanta Regional Commission, who provided the data on listed and potential National Register of Historic Places districts; and Stephanie Cherry-Farmer, program coordinator for the National Register Program and Survey for the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of National Resources, who provided invaluable assistance gathering the initial data for the project. This research would not have been possible without their assistance.
