The report was completed by a graduate student studio at Georgia Tech's School of City and Regional Planning, Noell Consulting, and Enterprise Innovation Institute. The report explored development impacts and opportunities along the east portions of the Spring Road corridor and its intersection with Cobb Parkway.
