Power Breakfast: GM Doraville site, no more Clayton transit, stimulus, Ford, Delta, AirTran-Falcons
There’s an interesting story today about development of the old GM Doraville mega-site.
A Florida developer says DeKalb County will help his company convert the property into a “true urban center” with homes, restaurants, businesses and offices, AJC reporters April Hunt and Ty Tagami write.
“DeKalb has agreed to work with us, to develop this project for them, for us and for Doraville,” David Pace, president of New Broad Street Companies, told the reporters.
Redevelopment of the 165-acre site has been a hot topic since GM announced the plant closing in 2007. It would be the largest “brownfield” project in metro Atlanta, meaning it involves the cleanup of a heavy industrial site. By comparison, Atlantic Station in Midtown Atlanta, a former steel mill, is 138 acres.
Also in the AJC:
- Clayton pulling plug on bus service
- Summer stimulus jobs employed thousands
- Ford adds 4.5 million vehicles to recall
- Delta pilots want separate union for Compass
- AirTran-Falcons deal to take off — literally
