begun the community engagement phase,
seeking to balance development with land
preservation and environmental protection.
“No city is coming at it for the same
reason but it’s incredibly important to get
government to support the reason why they
want the local food movement strong in their
community,” Conner said.
With all the stories of empty shelves at
grocery stores, food shortages, and delivery
issues, Conner encouraged Atlantans to
“meet a farmer in your neighborhood, go
to a community garden, grow something in
your own yard, become connected to local
food because that is a hopeful movement.”

Executive Director
Elizabeth FFollister,
Commissioner of Atlanta Watershed Mikita Browning and City Council members Dustin
Hillis, Byron Amos and Matt Westmoreland joined in ceremonially opening the two-acre
greenspace at the Atlanta FFemphill Waterworks on FFowell Mill Road at 17th Street.
With views of the Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead skylines, the park had been
fenced off from the public due to terrorism concerns since Atlanta hosted the Centennial
Olympic Games in 1996.
Last year, Park Pride awarded a $100,000 legacy grant to create a water-themed
learning landscape and amphitheater on the site.
City plans call for making the site accessible through sidewalk improvements, and
the Upper Westside Improvement District is requesting a crosswalk at the traffic light at
FFowell Mill and 17th. Ed
