The Atlanta BeltLine is a $2.8 billion redevelopment project that will shape the way Atlanta grows throughout the next several decades. The project provides a network of public parks, multi-use trails and transit along a historic 22-mile railroad corridor circling downtown and connecting 45 neighborhoods directly to each other. The Atlanta BeltLine is the most comprehensive economic development effort ever undertaken in the City of Atlanta and among the largest, most wide-ranging urban redevelopment projects currently underway in the United States.

At the heart of the Atlanta BeltLine is an integrated approach to land use, transportation, greenspace and sustainable development that will create a framework for future growth in the City of Atlanta. During the past 20 years, metro Atlanta’s growth has occurred in widely spread and disconnected pockets of development which have strained the region’s quality of life and economic growth. By attracting and organizing some of the region’s future growth around parks, transit, and trails, the BeltLine will help change the pattern of regional sprawl in the coming decades and lead to a vibrant and livable Atlanta with an enhanced quality of life.

Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. (ABI), formed by The Atlanta Development Authority in 2006, is the entity tasked with planning and executing the implementation of the Atlanta BeltLine in partnership with other public and private organizations, including City of Atlanta departments. The BeltLine Partnership is a non-profit organization committed to raising funds from private and philanthropic sources to support the Atlanta BeltLine. It works with neighborhoods, community organizations, faith organizations, businesses and other groups to raise general awareness and broad-based support for the Atlanta BeltLine.

Transit
A 22-mile loop of pedestrian-friendly rail transit along mostly abandoned former rail lines is the spine of the Atlanta BeltLine, which will weave its way through 45 neighborhoods surrounding Atlanta’s urban core. BeltLine transit will also connect to existing MARTA service in up to five locations and to future transit systems, such as the Peachtree Streetcar and commuter rail lines.

Trails
A 33-mile network of multi-use trails will help create a new public realm and pedestrian friendly-environment that will include the core 22-miles that follow the railroad segments, plus numerous extensions to link together many of the existing parks and trails surrounding the BeltLine.

Parks
The Atlanta BeltLine will increase Atlanta’s greenspace by nearly 40% as the project adds nearly 1,300 acres of new parks and greenspace throughout 25 years. The BeltLine will create a linear park with 33 miles of multi-use trails connecting 40 parks, including approximately 700 acres of existing parks.

Economic Development
The Atlanta BeltLine is expected to generate more than $20 billion of new economic development throughout the 25 years of the Tax Allocation District and approximately 30,000 new jobs.

Affordable Workforce Housing
Over the span of 25 years, the Atlanta BeltLine is projected to create more than 5,000 new units of affordable workforce housing by dedicating 15% of the net proceeds of the BeltLine Tax Allocation District bond proceeds to the BeltLine Affordable Housing Trust Fund; these will be a combination of owner-occupied and rental units.

Workforce Development and Community Benefits
The Atlanta BeltLine has a first-source jobs policy in place to train local residents for jobs where BeltLine developments and infrastructure occurs. ABI is also working with communities and developers to establish community benefits agreements that will produce amenities and services that residents desire and create new jobs in economically viable businesses.

Environmental Clean-Up and Reuse
The Atlanta BeltLine has approximately 1,100 acres of brownfields that are slated to be remediated and redeveloped. This will create new opportunities for public spaces and economic development while improving the city’s natural and built environment.

Public Art & Historic Preservation
Public Art is a vital component of the Atlanta BeltLine, a new public realm that can redefine how one experiences the city. The industrial character of much of the BeltLine corridor provides many unique opportunities for art, and ABI is incorporating potential sites for public art in the Master Plans for the Atlanta BeltLine's 10 subareas. ABI is also working to identify unique and historic structures and sites along the BeltLine that preserve the city’s rich and diverse character and neighborhoods.

Community Engagement
The Atlanta BeltLine is being built with an unprecedented level of community input. An important component of BeltLine implementation since its early planning, the Citizen Participation Framework approved by Atlanta City Council in July 2006 has institutionalized avenues for the community to participate in the planning and development of t
