Both plants were sited on what was once the edge of the Atlanta metro region in the previous mid-century. Their communities are now inner ring suburbs and have the potential to play significant roles in metro-wide Smart Growth strategies, as well as to provide new models for infill development in the Atlanta metro region. The Ford Assembly plant is located in Hapeville, a southwest community that sits adjacent to the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport. The GM Assembly plant located in Doraville, a northeast community, is bordered by I-285 and the last stop on the northeast MARTA line. Both sites constitute a significant portion of redevelopable land within their two communities. Furthermore, their redevelopment offers opportunities to improve the residential and business base of both communities. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThat the two communities are confronting the same redevelopment challenge at the same point in time has provided a unique learning and service opportunity for Georgia Tech\u0027s City and Regional Planning masters students. This fall 14 students have been engaged in a redevelopment planning effort for the two assembly plant sites that focuses on issues of economic development and urban design. The results of their work will be presented at a public meeting held in each affected city in early December. We invite interested parties to attend one or both of these presentations. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe presentation details for each city are as follows:\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPART I:  Doraville\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nFriday, December 8th, 2:00 PM\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nDoraville City Hall\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n3725 Park Avenue\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nDoraville, GA 30340\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPART II:  Hapeville\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMonday, December 11th, 5:30 PM\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHapeville City Hall\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n3468 North Fulton Avenue\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHapeville, GA 30354\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information about this event, please contact Dave Pierce at \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:dave.pierce@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Edave.pierce@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E (Doraville) or Andrea Foard at \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:andrea.foard@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eandrea.foard@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E (Hapeville).
