The community
of Sandtown could be a model of smart growth for South Fulton County.
That's the
assessment of the Fulton County Economic Development Department in its
recent overview of South Fulton.
Sandtown
has just over 13,000 residents and is near Fulton Industrial Boulevard
and bisects Campbelton Road and Camp Creek Parkway.
In looking
at the area, Fulton County's economic gurus came up with several recommendations.
Some of the suggestions are:
Create a
501(c)3 and a 501(c)6 organization for donation and business development
purposes.
Complete
the Campbelton Road study.
Have Sandtown
collaborate with the Piedmont Driving Club, Fulton Industrial Business
Association, Lakeside Country Club and other property owners on Camp
Creek Parkway to insure quality development in the area.
Develop
a corridor study for Camp Creek Parkway from 1-285 to Fulton Industrial
Boulevard.
Establish
a corridor theme with conceptual signage and landscape standards.
Create a
village center and a town center, one on Campbelton Road and one on
Camp Creek Parkway.
The recommendations
will be distributed to the community for residents' opinions and a final
plan will be forwarded to the Fulton County Board of Commissioners.
