A joint work session of the Milton City Council and Planning Commission heard the latest on the Livable Centers Initiative on Monday night.
The Livable Centers Initiative is one step closer to action. Consultant Eric Bosman made an hour-long, yet rapid-fire presentation of the Livable Centers Initiative Monday night before a joint work session of the Milton City Council and Milton Planning Commission. The initiative outlines the future for the corridor along GA 9 from Bethany Bend south to Mayfield and east to GA 400, and including Deerfield Parkway. The initiative was funded by $100,000 — with a $25,000 city match — from the Atlanta Regional Commission in February 2011.

The building blocks help residents visualize lives.
A dozen Milton and Alpharetta residents used children's blocks Wednesday night to show what they want to see built in the Hwy. 9 to GA 400 Livable Centers Initiative study area.
