A $100,000 LCI grant to Milton by the Atlanta Regional Commission (with a $25,000 match by the city), funds the study.

The LCI grant program provides funds for small area studies to determine strategies that link transportation improvements with land-use development, explained Jason Wright, the city's communications manager. These studies aim to help improve the livability and sustainability of the area.

At every step in the process, the city and its consultants are gathering input, through public meetings and stakeholder meetings.
