Besides better schools and housing, what else is planned?
Quite a lot! We have partnered with the YMCA of Metro Atlanta to offer health and fitness services to the community, and programs to Woodson Park Academy children and families in a new state-of-the-art community wellness center. We are working with our partners to provide more healthy food options and to make them more accessible (e.g. community grocery store, expanded community garden).
We are helping develop plans for new parks, trails, greenspaces, and recreational fields. We are working on some exciting partnerships to restore the historic Grove Theatre, with a goal of developing a robust center for performing arts. Arts education in Grove Park schools is also a key focus of a partnership with Callanwolde Fine Arts Center.
