Significant urban growth, new development and improved
quality of life for Atlanta's citizens are the City's
major priorities for the next several years. In December
2004, ADA adopted an ambitious blueprint, the New Century
Economic Development Plan for the City of Atlanta (EDP),
which establishes clear and measurable goals to drive
the City's economic development.
"It's a bold plan, but we believe it's achievable,"
says Mayor Shirley Franklin. "There is strong interest
from the City, the business community and civic and
community organizations to work together. The time is
right for the City to realize its potential."
