The DeKalb County Department of Planning and Sustainability is undertaking a process to enhance the long term economic viability of the Memorial Drive corridor. This corridor is a major thoroughfare, with current bus system, a heavy rail transit station, colleges/universities, one hundred plus acres under government ownership, numerous 20 plus acre underdeveloped tracts under private ownership, and highly accessible transportation road network (I-285, US- 78) to major destinations. With the ever-increasing number of municipal incorporations and annexations, it is imperative that DeKalb County stimulate, invest, and support economic development in existing urban areas with market assets.    The primary goal of the Memorial Drive Revitalization Plan is to provide vision and consensus of business owners and the community, and to create a revitalization strategy for this important corridor with beautification, vibrant businesses, mixed use development, and living wage employment opportunities. The Revitalization Plan will also establish strategies for creating a “sense of place” upon entering the corridor from Atlanta or Gwinnett County.  

As a part of this nine-month planning process, we are asking members of the community to provide insight for the vision of the future of the corridor.   Help our planning team by taking our survey and using our Interactive Map on this page!   Begin by clicking the "Get Started Now" box.
